Festival Finale: Appalachia in America

Join ACMF and Harpers Ferry National Historical Park for a fun and relaxed festival finale on the historic Storer College lawn! Featuring a special performance by old time fiddler Earl White, National Park Artist in Residence participant author Nancy Cook, and more! (Rain location is on site.)

In our finale performance, we celebrate music that both inspired the rich tradition of music in Appalachia and has also been inspired by the rich cultural and musical landscape we have here!

Program includes music by Don Redman, legendary jazz musician and West Virginia native, who studied at Storer. We also feature music by Mark O’Conor, our very own Domenic Salerni, and other festival highlights!
