Echoes of the Hills: Kentucky's Traditional Music
Kentucky has been justly celebrated for its contributions to country and bluegrass styles, but a diverse and vibrant range of earlier musical traditions made the hills and hollers echo with song and dance long before these popular styles came into being following World War II. There is an inextricable relationship between music, memory, and place in Appalachia. On Thursday, December 10, join with us virtually as Ron Pen, professor emeritus of music at the University of Kentucky, explores this theme through the music, stories, and people that constitute the heritage of the hills and hollers of Kentucky.
