Banjo! Every second Saturday, SECCA hosts a community day with arts and crafts and other activities for children. This second Saturday is a prelude to the evening’s concert with Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn (see details below), so the theme is traditional music. Kids can enjoy an “instrument petting zoo,” storytelling, crafts and more. Weather permitting, the event will be held outside, allowing families to enjoy the lovely grounds at SECCA.

Béla Fleck has been called the world’s premiere banjo player. With his innovative playing style, he has “reinvented the perception and sound” of the banjo. As part of the Crossroads @ SECCA series, Fleck has paired up with his wife and former bandmate from The Sparrow Quartet, Abigail Washburn, a claw-hammer banjo player. Together with Ben Sollee, and Casey Driessen, they toured Tibet (a first for an American band) playing American and Chinese folk songs. The first show (5pm) sold out fast so a second show was added. Get tickets quick if you want to see this legendary performer right here in Winston-Salem.
