Come join us for a special Handpan HangOut! This gathering is a learning lab: a safe, supportive, and collaborative space to explore a variety of instruments, rhythms, and sounds.
Together, we’ll introduce first touches on the handpan while also sharing techniques and skills for players at all levels. This space is open to everyone—beginners, seasoned handpan players, and musicians of all kinds. Acoustic instruments are welcome and encouraged!
Expect an evening of exploration, jam time, and share time. If you’d like, showcase a groove or co-create with others in the circle.
New to the handpan? No worries—plenty of instruments will be provided, including several handpans, drums, guitar, and shakers.
