ABOUT BOXWOOD

Boxwood has established a worldwide presence celebrating and sharing musical traditions. We invite a multicultural and multidisciplinary dialogue between performers, teachers, scholars, students, and instrument makers through our annual week-long Festival in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia and Rotorua, New Zealand. Boxwood's participants join with members of the local community for music, concerts, dances, classes, and informal sessions creating a tightly woven bond for an experience to be treasured.

Boxwood has followed the paths of musical oral tradition in Scotland, Ireland, Cape Breton, Quebec, and New England, as well as exploring music of Breton, Galician, Cuban Charanga, Native American and classical Indian styles by inviting tradition bearers, top players and musical visionaries to share their music. In short, Boxwood aims to present ideas that encourage musicians to leave the printed page and find their own voice.
