Jack,

That’s interesting.  I will definitely look into those options!

I appreciate the help,

Stephanie

Hi Stephanie,  In Ohio we have two state scholars for New Harmonies, Howard and Judy Sacks, both on the faculty at Kenyon College.  Howard is a sociologist and Judy is a folklorist, and they co-directed a community folk music festival, The Gambier Folk Festival, for 25 years.   I guess this is a long-winded way of saying that a scholar (or scholars) who has done work with folk music traditions in your state or region should certainly be suitable for New Harmonies.

Best,

Hello all,

Our state is hosting New Harmonies in 2012, so I’m in the process of searching for scholars and host sites.  For those states who have already had the exhibit, is it best to look for scholars with Music Ed. backgrounds or is there another discipline I should be focusing on?

Thanks for your help!

Stephanie
