The concert explores the convergence of Indigenous, Black, and immigrant influences that have shaped Appalachian music. Through a mix of traditional and modern works, the program highlights the layered histories and storytelling traditions embedded in the region’s musical identity.
“Appalachian music is often thought of as a single tradition,” said Artistic Director Jason Strunk. “In reality, Appalachia is the result of many cultures meeting in one place.”
Renatum’s programming aims to connect audiences with both familiar and lesser-known works while offering context for the origins and evolution of the music.
