Deborah Flanders and the Vermont Folk Life Center are pleased to present a folk concert featuring Moira Smiley, singer, composer, and song-collector Moira Smiley. She has sung in arenas, cathedrals, kitchens, back porches, sound stages, and on glaciers. She’s performed with the likes of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Tune-Yards, Tim O’Brien, Eric Whitacre, Los Angeles Master Chorale, New World Symphony, Solas, and The Lyris String Quartet. Moira’s original compositions, choral arrangements, and folk music are being sung by millions of voices around the world today. 

The annual folk concert is organized by singer Deb Flanders in honor of her great-aunt Helen Hartness Flanders, an internationally recognized ballad collector and authority on folk music found in New England and in the British Isles. Joining Deb and Moira are multi-instrumentalist Pete Sutherland, fiddler Oliver Scanlon, cellist Michael Close, violinist/fiddler Laura Markowitz and Andrew Ryan on double bass.
