Join the Montgomery Museum of Art & History on November 6 for Cultural Crossroads: an event that aims to enlighten audiences about the various cultural influences on traditional Appalachian music and dance. The concert will feature a multicultural perspective on traditional music, bluegrass, old-time, and dance with an emphasis on its roots and early influences from African American, Indigenous, Japanese, Hispanic/Latino, and European cultures. Experience a multi-dimensional display of artistic mediums that will include onstage storytelling at the Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech.
Many of the performers hail from regions across Appalachia, including Southwest Virginia, Western North Carolina, and Eastern Tennessee. 20% of all ticket sales 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. Your support for the Montgomery Museum and traditional Appalachian arts will help serve and support victims of flooding from Hurricane Helene.
Tickets cost $30 for adults. This event is sponsored in part by Virginia Humanities.
