Jamie Dunphy (guitar) and Greg Passler (guitar) will be performing a set of classical and jazz duets at 4:30pm as part of the third annual Indian Hill Guitar Festival.

This year's line-up also features performances and workshops by Indian Hill faculty Eric Baldwin, Greg Passler, Berit Strong, Matthew Wright and Jamie Dunphy, plus special guests, guitar historian Olav Chris Henriksen, blues guitarist Earl Pughe and jazz great John Baboian.

Educational activities are from 12-6, and dinner will be provided for participants staying for the 7:30 concert featuring John Baboian's fantastic group, BEBOP GUITARS. You are welcome to come for however much of the day you can, but I strongly encourage everyone to stay for this concert; this is a rare opportunity to see five of the area's finest guitarists all on one stage.

These days everyone seems to be obsessed with time; stopping time, to be more precise. Nobody wants to get old and everyone is running out of time. But the pan-Latin band Sol y Canto and their artistic collaborators Melodic Vision may hold the key to a musical fountain of youth: death! Or at least respect for it.

 Doors Open: 4:30 pm and 7:00 pm

You can be a part of history when the Boston Urban Ceilidh, Boston's favorite Celtic dance party, comes to Club Passim. To our knowledge, it's the first time Passim has ever hosted an event quite like the "BUC," which combines the high-energy social dance traditions of Ireland, Scotland and Cape Breton with a modern, often rock-n-roll beat. Think "contra dance meets mosh pit" and you'll have an idea of what to expect.
