At this gathering, musician and historian Steven Engelhart and harpist and music therapist Sarah Ward will sing a variety of songs that were collected across the region in the 1940s and 50s by Marjorie Lansing Porter (1891-1973) and tell the story of how this remarkable woman came to embrace and record the traditional songs sung by dozens of people – farmers, woodsmen, homemakers, and others – all learned through an age-old oral tradition. Sarah Ward is the great-great granddaughter of Marjorie Lansing Porter.
