Special Exhibit: Ellen Elmes, The Art of Music and Mountains

Ellen Elmes: The Art of Music and Mountains features her creativity across a variety of mediums and themes, from traditional instruments, musicians, and songs to the grandiosity and minutiae of nature. The core of this exhibition – a series of acrylic on canvas, large-scale paintings entitled “Tribute to the Stanley Brothers” and inspired by their songs – is an example of a body of work that awakened in the artist a deeper understanding of the roots, stories, and expression embodied in old-time and traditional songs of the mountains.

Speaker Session, Lee Bidgood Musical Traditions & The Global String Band

Birthplace of Country Music Museum 101 Country Music Way, Bristol

Musical traditions based on groups of stringed instruments are common around the world – how are these bands different and similar to each other, and how do they help us all connect to each other and the environments where we find ourselves? With this Speaker Sessions presentation, Lee Bidgood will introduce a global range of string band sounds and stories, with media and live examples.
