Michael Nix brings his New Classic Banjo Project to the Wendell Meetinghouse, Wendell, MA as part of the 2026 Community Arts & Conversations project. Through his New Classic Banjo Project residency (July 21, 23, 25 and 26) Michael Nix explores a way of looking at the banjo with a self-designed 7 nylon string instrument (the 7-string Banjar) that morphs classical, jazz, folk, and world music into a dynamic new performance style. The residency includes a lecture on the design and commission of the Banjar; a panel discussion on commissioning a bespoke instrument and compositions; a workshop for all levels of banjo players (includes classical, jazz, folk and world music); and a solo concert. This third event is New Classic Banjo Project: Concert with Michael Nix. (At door tickets $20; advance ticket sales offered through Meetinghouse platform $15; Card to Culture fee $10)
