The Bemidji Public Library and Beltrami County Historical Society are pleased to present "They Brought Their Songs: International Folk Music in Minnesota", an exciting and culturally enriching partnership and series that seeks to celebrate the diverse and vibrant tapestry of international folk music in Beltrami County. Join us for a performance by the Red Thread Band on Saturday, April 27, 2024 at 4 PM at the Bemidji Public Library.
Red Thread infuses their interpretations of traditional music with a harmonic sensibility rooted in and liberated from classical choral singing, with band members Sarah Larsson, Sophie Javna, Erika Lantz, Julia Hobart, Colleen Bertsch, and McKain Lakey, each drawing from years of study with master-artists including Ethel Raim, Michael Alpert, Sam Lee, Dáithí Sproule, and string band master-artists in Transylvania. With lush harmonies and the tight performance of a family band, Red Thread further unspools the line of folk tradition, merging rich vocal and string arrangements with the stories of real people's lived experiences embedded within folk songs. This event will also be livestreamed on the Bemidji Public Library Facebook page at fb.com/BemidjiPublicLibrary. Contact Kate Egelhof at the library with any questions at [email protected] or 218-751-3963.
