About the Appalachian Music Ensemble
The William and Mary Appalachian Music Ensemble explores the rich heritage of traditional Appalachian music. Consisting of 40 plus students, the ensemble learns the music together, often by ear. Playing together as a large group, the focus is on learning tunes that have been played in this country for centuries. The group also forms smaller ensembles, allowing members to delve deeper into the repertoire and develop their playing skills working with other musicians in a small group setting.
