KCTM Semester Finale concert is April 30

The Kentucky Center for Traditional Music (KCTM) will hold its semester finale concert at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 30, at the Morehead Conference Center. Admission is free, and the concert is open to the public.

The event will feature performances from all sections of the student ensemble. KCTM students will present various musical styles, including Bluegrass, string band, and old-time country music.

KCTM Director Daxson Lewis (Class of 2016) said that in addition to the concert, the event will also recognize graduating seniors Lucy Becker (traditional studies major, Lexington) and Anabel Peterman (traditional studies major, Carlisle).

“The end-of-semester showcase is always an exciting event. It is the culmination of a semester’s worth of hard work on the part of our students and instructors,” Lewis said.

Located in the heart of the Bluegrass State, where Bluegrass, old-time, and country music history has its roots, KCTM preserves, teaches, helps develop, and celebrates our rich mountain heritage. KCTM offers an opportunity to study with musicians who have performed with legends like Johnny Cash and at the Grand Ole Opry and to learn from professionals about performance, history, recording, the music industry, and more.
