​​Handpan HangOut • RVA STYLE

​2024 was the first year for Maryland handpan meetups, and we're thrilled to continue growing community spaces where handpan enthusiasts & players, musicians of all walks, and anyone curious about making/listening to music is invited to attend. Whether you are new to playing the handpan, are an intermediate+ musician, or simply curious about the instrument, come see what it's all about and join us for an afternoon full of handpans, music & sweet vibes.

​This year we're heading back to Richmond, VA, the seed of inspiration! ​Don't have a handpan but want to come? Don’t worry, some instruments are provided including frame drums, shakers, djembes, a few extra handpans and acoustic instruments floating around.
