This month we're visiting with two local musicians who are studying with two master Irish musicians. They are using videoconferencing to go beyond traditional face-to-face learning.
How is it working for them? And how is being an apprentice in trad music different from simply taking music lessons?
The board and staff of the Susquehanna Folk Music Society are committed to celebrating and affirming diverse cultures through programming which explores the music, dance, craft and stories of many people. We stand in complete solidarity with the Black community and all marginalized communities to speak out against injustice, bigotry and racial violence.
