Rite of Summer Music Festival

The West­er­lies per­form Brass Roots: Amer­i­can Folk Tra­di­tions, fea­tur­ing music of Woody Guthrie, the Gold­en Gate Quar­tet, John Prine, and Judee Sill heard anew, along­side works by com­posers whose use of folk melodies tran­scend­ed their time, from the sophis­ti­ca­tion of Duke Elling­ton to the bold imag­i­na­tion of Charles Ives.
