Perhaps no single person of the 20th century has done more
to preserve, broadcast and redistribute folk music than Pete
Seeger. His passion for politics, the environment and
humanity, earned him both ardent fans and vocal enemies
since he first began performing in the 1930s.
Mark Dvorak will lead the audience through some of Seeger’s
best-known songs. “If I Had a Hammer,” “Where Have All the
Flowers Gone?” “Kisses Sweeter Than Wine,” “Turn, Turn,
Turn” and others have become standard in
the American folk repertoire.
Dvorak has followed in the musical footsteps of Seeger as a
musician, educator and community builder. Since 1986 he has
been on the faculty at Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk
Music, where he is artist-in-residence.
Dvorak performed with Seeger on a handful of occasions and
toured with WeaverMania! for six years performing Seeger’s
role as sing, storyteller and banjo player, and has given
hundreds of presentations on American folk music for
community organizations and in schools across the country.
___________________
We are very fortunate to have Mark Dvorak this
weekend, this close to Seeger’s actual 100th birthday,
May 3, 2019.
In fact, Mark was one of the people who helped launch the
Mid-Winter Singing and Folk Festival back in 2003. After
several discussions about the possibility of producing an
annual weekend of singing, he was not only encouraging, but
since then, has been an integral part of almost every MWSFF.
Through the brilliance of Mark’s song leading and reflection,
Friday will be the perfect opportunity to introduce friends and
family to the music and life of Pete Seeger.
See you there!
