Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are excited to announce that this year when you join the New York Folklore Society, or renew your membership, you can be part of the CD-of-the-month program: VOICES IN NEW YORK.

This new audio option is in addition to the benefits you already receive:
  • Being part of a community that supports traditional cultures and folklore in New York State
  • Receiving discounts on NYFS books and art in the NYFS Gallery
  • Invitations to conferences and symposia
    AND
  • A subscription to our journal, Voices: The Journal of New York Folklore.
Each month, Voices in NY will celebrate the works of New York’s master musicians, poets and storytellers and we’ll drop their latest CD in your mailbox! Curated by our NYFS Board of Directors, Voices in New York brings you the latest CDs from fabulous immigrant artists and seminal works from master artists from around the state. You’ll receive 12 fantastic CDs and learn more about local artists who are “under the radar.” You’ll also receive a Q&A article with the artist, sent to you each month. (Click on album covers to read the articles for previous months’ selections.)

Become a member of the NYFS Voices in NY program and receive:
  • 12 months of Voices in NY CD selections, Voices: The Journal of the New York Folklore Society, and annual membership for $275.
  • 6 months of Voices in NY CD selections, Voices: The Journal of the New York Folklore Society, and annual membership for $175.
The New York Folklore Society celebrates traditional musicians from New York who honor the traditional repertoire: presenting it in the highest caliber and/or interpreting traditional material in an innovative way. Our spotlighted artists’ information will also be included on the NYFS Website Music Pages of the NYFS website, New York Folklore Society’s Guide to Traditional Music

Join us today; celebrate the extraordinary diversity of New York’s traditions; and listen for the Voices in New York!

Cheers,
The Board of Directors
New York Folklore Society

P.S. A Voices in New York membership makes a great gift.
