Tara Linhardt is a musician, educator, photographer, event coordinator, and movie maker. She didn’t have a lot of music in her house growing up, but started playing guitar at seven just because it was fun! She then played music with friends in high school and began playing the mandolin. She got serious about music when she spent time in college in Nepal and Thailand, even using music as meditation as a way to get into and stay in the moment.
She says, “music can be for everyone” and that “helping people meet other people is great.” She spends a lot of time putting people together, whether bluegrass music jams or by conducting music tours. She says so many people just sit around passively and she likes to help set up jam sessions where people can play together and learn how to play together to create a sense of community.
She and some friends several years decided to make a film in Nepal and ended up with a movie titled the Mountain Music Project. The film highlights the gandarba musicians in Nepal and also the similarities with Appalachian bluegrass players in Virginia, who surprisingly have some songs in common!
Tara also has tours to Nepal, where travelers can meet musicians, artists, woodworkers, and work with orphanages and schools. Please visit www.TaraLinhardt.com for more information on the tours and movie.
