Event details

Songwriter Emily Pinkerton brings the folk and classical worlds together with her chamber music for banjo, fiddle, and voice. She joins with the artist-led ensemble fivebyfive for a program they call Enduring Stories: ghost, murder, and lost voices of the Appalachians and Catskills. Fivebyfive commissioned Pinkerton’s new work, Ephemera Ballads, a song cycle that meshes her distinctive style with their instruments and was inspired by 18th and 19th century broadside folk poetry to showcase fateful stories of women. The concert also includes Rounder Songs, based on tunes and folk tales from Kentucky and West Virginia.

Emily Pinkerton is a founding member of The Early Mays, an old-time, vocal harmony trio that topped the National Folk-DJ charts and was featured twice on NPR’s Mountain Stage.

fivebyfive is an award-winning ensemble known for its impeccable musicianship and adventurous spirit that permeates innovative, cross-genre programming and community engagement. fivebyfive performs music by the most exciting living composers to create unforgettable musical experiences.
