Program Details

Traditional ballads have been passed down for generations, carried not by sheet music but through memory, family, and community. In this workshop, led by Donna Ray Norton and William Ritter, participants will explore the distinctive style of Appalachian ballad singing through live examples and discussion. They will learn about the stylistic quirks and storytelling traditions that make these songs unique, as well as the reasons singers developed these approaches.

When you arrive at the FIND Outdoors Headquarters in the NEST (Suite 3), you’ll be welcomed at the door for check-in before settling in for a free community lecture event.
