| A
concert by two of America’s most talented and widely-recognized
folk musicians John McCutcheon and Malcolm Dalglish will kick off
Berea College’s 32nd Celebration of Traditional Music Oct.
26-29. The long weekend of old time music, dance and good times
features traditional musicians from throughout Appalachia for performances,
workshops and a symposium this year focused on “Affrilachian
Music.”
Best friends McCutcheon and Dalglish are established solo artists
currently on tour together with “Songs and Strings: A Reunion
of Two Masters” Thursday, Oct. 26, beginning at 8 p.m.
in Phelps Stokes Chapel. The concert is co-sponsored by the Berea
College Convocation program.
Another high point of the Celebration, Saturday night’s
Concert of Festival Musicians, is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in
Phelps Stokes, and will feature Nat Reese, Sue Massek, Jake Krack
and the Whoopin-Hollar String Band, Greg and Emily Beasley, Berea
College Bluegrass Ensemble. New this year is the inclusion of
a mariachi band, Mariachi Mi Mexico, in the line-up of festival
musicians to celebrate the traditions of some of the Spanish-speaking
people who have become part of many communities in the region.
