Accommodations are excellent, with comfortable and modern dorm rooms, as well a wide variety of good food in the cafeteria. Four classes meet each day, but the evenings offer the variety of large group playing sessions, English country dancing, participant-led ensembles, a faculty concert, and our annual John Trexler Folk Lecture. This year’s presenter is longtime Mountain Collegium faculty member Lorraine Hammond.
