Since 2019, the Morin Khuur Center of North America has organized festivals for amateur morin khuur players in the United States.
This year, we are proud to announce our 4th festival, held in collaboration with our fellow morin khuur enthusiasts at Ajnai Morin Khuur Center from Denver, Colorado.
The festival celebrates Mongolia's rich cultural heritage and honors the artistry and cultural significance of the morin khuur, the traditional horse-head fiddle. This vibrant, immersive experience builds bridges across cultures, preserves traditions, and inspires a deep appreciation for the morin khuur.
We invite you to join us for unforgettable performances, educational workshops, scholarly discussions, community activities, and a morin khuur competition that showcases the passion and skills of emerging talents.
