The Skyros Quartet begins the journey into a new Opus of The Counterpoint Club by exploring the ways that folk music has influenced chamber music, both in composition and in performance. In the history lesson, Brandon discusses ethnomusicology and the ways that composers have incorporated folk melodies in music meant for the concert stage. In the technique segment, Sarah explores methods for researching these influences and how to inform an audience to their usage and existence. With training in both classical and Celtic music, our special guests Greta, Willow, and Solana offer fantastic insight on our theme from their expertise as the internationally-acclaimed Gothard Sisters.
