The performance will feature folk music from all over the world in modern arrangements, including pieces from Finland, Estonia, India, Germany, Ireland, Appalachia, and the African American tradition. The program will include arrangements by singers Michael Betz, Kurt Hattenberger, and Ian A. Cook.
