SEEGER FAMILY TRIBUTE with Pete, Mike, and Peggy Seeger
The Library of Congress pays tribute to several generations of the Seeger family, renowned for its great achievements in American music. The Library’s Music Division and American Folklife Center are the repositories of multiple collections: those of composer-musicologist Charles; his wife Ruth Crawford, a pathbreaking modernist composer; their children Mike and Peggy; and Charles’s son, Mike’s and Peggy’s half-brother, Pete, who is arguably America’s favorite folksinger.
In addition to the concert, there will be film screenings and a symposium including ethnomusicologist Anthony Seeger, grandson of Charles. For updated information, log into www.loc.gov/folklife. Co-presented with the American Folklife Center, Library of Congress
