Songs of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks

From the Marjorie Lansing Porter Collection

Musician and historian Steven Engelhart and harpist and music therapist Sarah Ward perform songs that were collected across the region in the 1940s and 50s by Marjorie Lansing Porter (1891-1973). They tell the story of how this remarkable woman came to embrace and record the traditional songs sung by dozens of farmers, woodsmen, homemakers, and others – all learned through an age-old oral tradition. Sarah Ward is Porter’s great-great granddaughter. Presented by the Grange Music Series.
