Field Trip to the National Gallery of Art and the Library of Congress: leaves Thursday 10:30am

Attendees at the Celtic Track kickoff's wire harp morning workshop (plus a few others) will depart the Hilton after their class ends and be taken by shuttle to the local Metro stop for a quick train ride to the National Mall where they'll eat lunch and get a private tour at the National Gallery of Art. Following the Gallery tour they'll walk down to the Library of Congress to view special music collections. The trip is being organized by Cynthia Cathcart. Train trip and lunch is at your own expense. The group will return to the Hilton by 4:30pm. Limited seating on the hotel shuttle to the train station and we're limited to 15 for the Gallery tour. If you're in the wire harp class as part of the Celtic Track kick-off, please note on the registration form that you're interested in making the trip. This trip is also open to companions and anybody else who's registered for the full festival--but you must contact Kathy at info(at)somersetharpfest.com or call 856-795-7637 to check availability.
