Woven: An Appalachian Tapestry at Shepherdstown Presbyterian Church

Woven: An Appalachian Tapestry is a concert by Renatum, West Virginia's professional choir, celebrating the musical traditions that have shaped the Appalachian region. The program brings together folk song, hymnody, and contemporary choral works that reflect the intersection of Indigenous, Black, and immigrant cultures that contributed to Appalachian music and storytelling. As artistic director Jason Strunk notes, "Appalachia is the result of many cultures meeting in one place," and the concert explores those layered histories through the diverse musical threads woven together in the mountains. The performance takes place on May 16, 2026, at Shepherdstown Presbyterian Church.
