“When I got the email that we were going to go to Ireland, it was like passion reignited. I got my old books of Irish jigs, and I tried to relearn all of them. And I was on Irish music forums and commenting on Reddit posts, and I was really trying to find what I was going to do and how I was going to play the most Irish music possible.”

Sophomore music major Katherine Thomas and her Carolina Bluegrass bandmates played in Ireland, like the Tar Heel football and women’s soccer teams. As someone with Irish ancestry who grew up playing Irish fiddle tunes, the chance to travel to Ireland was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The interplay between Irish jigs and American folk songs — particularly songs of the American South — is one that Thomas finds fascinating, and she’s used Carolina’s deep archival reservoir of Southern art and folklore to study that connection.

For most undergraduates, Spring Commencement marks the end of their journey at Carolina. For two Tar Heel musicians, it simply marked the end of a chapter.

Join faculty and graduate students for the UNC Music Research Forum this Friday, featuring guest lecturer Dr. Dave Fossum from Arizona State University. His talk, “What’s an Arrangement Worth?: Copyright, Folk Music, and the Value of Creativity in Turkey,” links implicit criteria of creative value to a larger history of nation-building. “The launching point for my inquiry is a policy of Turkey’s copyright collecting societies, who long offered arrangers of public domain folk music only a 10% royalty on their arrangements (whereas a 100% royalty is common in most jurisdictions),” wrote Dr. Fossum.

Make it a Sunday Funday with Dr. Jessica Kunttu’s faculty recital at 3:00 pm in Moeser Auditorium! The recital features the music of Gernot Wolfgang and Amanda Harberg, with performances by bassoonist Dr. Kunttu, pianist Ināra Zandmane, flutist Dr. Kelariz Keshavarz, horn player Russell Rybicki, and double bassist Zachary Hobin. And don’t miss the special performance by UNC bassoonists Marni Weinreb, Sam Brunetz, and Reed Luper!
