Description

In the late Sixties a small group of Long Island residents dedicated to the preservation of traditional folk music founded the Folk Music Society of Huntington. Begun in 1968, we incorporated as a non-profit entity in 1970. Our original membership of seven has today grown to the active participation of over 200 and a mailing list of more than 1500. Folk music, acknowledged as the musical conscience of society, has preserved in its variety of forms, the sorrows, struggles and joys of people from all nations. The Folk Music Society of Huntington has endeavored to sponsor and encourage culturally enriching activities by presenting artists in concert, by fostering membership participation in community programs related to the Arts, and by encouraging the sharing of musical expertise and knowledge of folklore.
