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.
The main purpose of this site is to spread the word about the project and to gauge fan interest in this campaign. Please visit the "About Us" page of the site for more information on the background of this project. If you’d like to contribute, please email us by September 15th at dulcimer@soundartistsupport.com with DULCIMER in the subject line and tell us what amount you'd like to contribute - contributions of any size will make this work. All contributors will receive tab for the piece autographed by Stephen Seifert and Conni Ellisor, and a promotional studio recording of the concerto featuring Stephen Seifert.
If there is enough interest to move forward with the concerto commission, you'll be contacted via the mailing list to finalize your contribution. Please join our mailing list so that we can keep you up-to-date on the dulcimer concerto project.
