ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week we have Moira Smiley on the banjo chat!
We talk about how music gives you a sense of transformation and how what she writes on banjo can have an uplift, a melancholy, as well as a sense of belonging. She explains what it’s like writing music for choral groups and for other people to sing.
Talking about the ballad tradition in folk music, and relating the Turkish Cumbus to the banjo and honoring the folk songs that were the core of her early musicianship and bridging a classical music fascination with a folk tradition.
The success of her version of Leadbelly’s, “Sylvie” and the fund for supporting a bipoc composer every year.
