The Music Of The People (expired event)

In this concert the students reshape contemporary folk music to reflect the rise of a myriad of sub-genres including psych-folk, urban folk, nu-folk, acid folk and so many more.

This year marks 100 years since influential American folk singer/ songwriter and political activist Pete Seeger was born. Famous for his songs Where Have All the Flowers Gone and If I Had a Hammer, Seeger was a powerful force in popularising protest folk songs and civil rights anthems such as We Shall Overcome. Today's folk music has found voice in numerous sub-genres.
