The Susquehanna Folk Music Society (SFMS) values the traditional arts; including folk music, folk dance, folk art, and storytelling and views these disciplines as vehicles for self-expression and cultural connections. For over 35 years SFMS has produced quality events that have featured phenomenal musicians, dancers and workshop leaders with national and international reputations in the folk and heritage fields. SFMS events go beyond entertainment and often have a workshop or a community conversation component which allows for a greater connection between patrons and artists and fosters a more in-depth appreciation and understanding.
With the assistance of a substantial grant from Explore York, SFMS produced its 1st folk festival in 2018. Setting the standard for future festivals, the festival featured an exciting line-up of folk and traditional arts performers, an Emerging Artist Showcase, special activities for families, a lively craft marketplace, workshops, dancing, & play-along jams. Last summer we added extended hours, a Liar’s Contest, and two programs funded by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), Meet the Masters & PA Folklife. The 2020 festival promises to be even more exciting with artists such as John Hammond, the Kulu Mele African Dance & Drum Ensemble, David Bromberg, Wild Asparagus and Hawktail and two programs funded by the NEA Meet the Masters and the Festival Youth Band.
Through its folk festival, folkloric fieldwork, concert series, jams, workshops, dances, & arts in education residencies, SFMS provides unparalleled opportunities for the community to enjoy, learn about, & interact with the traditional arts.
