Recently MHC hosted a gathering of representatives from communities who will tour the Smithsonian exhibit New Harmonies: Celebrating America’s Roots Music next year. The enthusiasm of the group was clearly evident as they talked about ways to make the New Harmonies exhibit more meaningful and interactive in their respective communities. They learned a lot about what roots music is and what it means in the various regions of our state. Scholar, Matt Meacham, has posted presentation notes with pictures and links related to roots music formats and musicians particularly relevant to Missouri on our New Harmonies WIKI site at http://www.newharmonies.missourihumanities.org/. This is where information about the project and all of activities taking place throughout the state will be published.
People also took instruction with Webster University professor, Aaron AuBuchon, shown below, who showed them how to post information, pictures and short videos. Be sure to visit this site often next year as the exhibit hosts begin to fill the pages with content.
