Sunday, August 16 2026 (Member Sponsored) BALFOLK BALTIMORE MUSIC SESSION 1- 3 p.m., at the Four Hour Day Lutherie, 4305 Harford Road, Baltimore MD 21214.
Balfolk refers to traditional and contemporary folk dance from France, Belgium, Brittany and a few other places. Dances include bourrée, mazurka, an dro, hanter dro and others. The music is interesting, rhythmic and lots of fun to play. Pretty easy, too! This will be a guided jam session, led by Mark Vidor. IT IS NOT A DANCE SESSION. All musicians and all instruments are welcome. No prior experience in the genre is necessary. Music will be provided at the session. Music is also available electronically in advance. For more information, contact Mark Vidor at mbvidor@aol.com.

Tuesday, August 25 2026 BFMS Song Swap The 4th Tuesday zoom song swap is a place for folks to come together and share songs, community, and keep the live singing tradition thriving.

You can drop in on the zoom and meet (and hear / sing with) some nice folks we 're not likely to meet in person!
