Speaker Session: Ryan Nedrow

Hybrid Hybrid Event

Join us on Tuesday, August 12 for a Speaker Session with Ryan Nedrow. “Chords of Community” focuses on the importance and vitality of community-based music in small-town America. Whether through the parlor piano in the comfort of your home or in a crowd-fueled parade down Main Street, music finds a way into our hearts and minds becoming a staple of community life the world over. In small-town America, Jonesborough, Tennessee, is a case study for grassroots musical performance to the tune of an ever-changing national identity.
