Cultural Crossroads in Traditional Music & Dance

The concert program aims to enlighten audiences about the various cultural influences on traditional music and dance. This concert will feature a multicultural perspective of traditional music, bluegrass, old-time, and dance with an emphasis on its roots and early influences from African American, Indigenous First people, Japanese, Hispanic/Latino, and European cultures. Experience a multi-dimensional display of art mediums, including storytelling on stage at the Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech. Join the Montgomery Museum of Art & History on Wednesday, November 6, 2024 at 7:00 PM for our Cultural Crossroads in Traditional Music & Dance Concert at the Moss Arts Center, 190 Alumni Mall, Blacksburg, VA 24060.

Many of the performers hail from regions across Appalachia including Southwest Virginia, Western North Carolina, and Eastern Tennessee. 20% of all ticket sale proceeds will be donated to Mountain Ways, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the hospitality and values of the Appalachian region to those facing natural disasters and tragedies. Supporting the Montgomery Museum and traditional Appalachian arts will help serve and support victims of flooding from Hurricane Helene.
