Smithsonian Exhibit Towns Selected

Oh brother, were we ever deluged with community applications for the 2009 tour of "New Harmonies!" It's a community-participation exhibit about American "roots music." No, not stuff about carrots, beets, and parsnips. It's all about music born and bred here. We had more interest in Missouri than the Smithsonian has ever seen for this touring program in any year, anywhere. The upshot is (trumpet fanfare), we'll have "New Harmonies" in 2010 as well! We'll put out a call for applications next year. The winning towns for 2009 are listed on our New Harmonies page.
