Performance Description

"Music Across the Pond" celebrates old-time string band music and dance, tracing the lineage of America's folk music and dance back to its origins in the British Isles, Africa, and Europe. The fiddle, mandolin, guitar, autoharp, string bass, banjo, harmonica, and hammered dulcimer are woven into a tapestry of songs and instrumental selections. The program culminates with a Virginia reel danced by a pre-selected and instructed troupe of students from the sponsoring school. Workshops are available.
