Sounding the Change: Innovation in English Country Dance Music in America

With Audrey Leigh Jaber
Is English country dance music in the US still “English,” or has innovation always been the point? Join beloved dance fiddler (and our membership coordinator!) Audrey Jaber for this special presentation of her recent master’s dissertation to find out!
This program will dive into how American ECD musicians have continually reshaped the sound of English dance tunes, revealing a tradition that survives not by preservation alone, but by creative change that gets us dancing. Come enjoy learning and listening!
This program is free; registration is required. You will receive a link to join the Zoom meeting just after you complete the registration form. This workshop will be recorded and available to view after.


Thanks to the Massachusetts Cultural Council for their generous support.
