General Filk Programming

Harold Feld

What is filk? Filk is the music of the science fiction community. It has influences from every genre of mainstream music that has ever influenced a science fiction fan.

It draws on our wealth of experience, our sense of wonder, and our atrocious humor. Some filk songs touch the heart, others send you rolling on the floor laughing, a few may make the more delicate blush at their—"ahem"—straightforward nature, but they all have one thing in common—people at conventions gather together to sing, perform, and listen to them.

So what sort of filk programming will we have at Bucconeer? We will have concerts—concerts that spotlight international and local talents. We will have open singing every night. We will have workshops, panels, and places where people can sit, talk, and sing.

If you are interested in volunteering—either to help or as a participant—please get in touch with me at:

11001 Oakwood Dr., Silver Spring, MD 20901
