Welcome to www.dulcimerconcerto.com and the Dulcimer Concerto Campaign. Renowned mountain dulcimer player Stephen Seifert, composer Conni Ellisor and artist manager Brian Horner have joined forces to rally America's dulcimer community to raise enough money to support the creation of a new piece of music for mountain dulcimer and orchestra. "Blackberry Winter", the world's only work for mountain dulcimer and orchestra was written in 1996 by Conni Ellisor and performed by Stephen Seifert and the Nashville Chamber Orchestra and they're excited to premiere a sequel to this beloved piece.
