Sponsors of the The Sisters Folk Festival Americana Project
The Sisters Folk Festival Americana Project provides opportunities for young people to learn about, write, perform, and record music. Through a curriculum integrating both guitar instruction and the history of American music, students build a heightened awareness of the influences that have shaped today's music and culture. In its fifth year, the Americana Project has made a positive impact on the lives of over 750 young people both in class and as part of the overall program. The students are immersed in expressing themselves through songwriting and as a part of the curriculum write their own original songs.Opportunities to perform and be part of the Sisters community in celebrating art and self expressionare driving the intergenerational participation in creating music and community involvement. The program now includes an elementary, middle, and high school component where simultaneously 60 students are participating each trimester.
