Sultana Project: Kids with an Eye for Yonnet and the Harmonica

Over 25 youth participated in the Sultata Project Downrigging harmonica workshop offered on Saturday, Oct. 29, 2011.

Yonnet Rocks the Boat in Chestertown

[October 7, 2011] Where can you see a fleet of tall ships assembled in one of America’s best preserved historic seaports, listen to performances from world-class musicians… sit in on lecture or workshop, and sail on some of the most beautiful sailing ships anywhere?  Downrigging Weekend 2011, that’s where!

The harbor and wharfs of Chestertown, MD will be filled to capacity on the weekend of October 27-30, 2011, as ships, schooners, skipjacks, buyboats and wooden boats of every conceivable shape and size make their way to Chestertown to celebrate the end of the sailing season during Sultana Projects’ eleventh annual Downrigging Weekend.

The harbor will never be the same after Urban Jazz Harmonicist Frederic Yonnet and his band  “rock the boat” at the Garfield Center for the Arts.  For those inspired to revisit the instrument that they have laying around the house, Yonnet will host a workshop on the waterfront for kids and adults.  For more information visit sultanaprojects.org.
