Stephen Wade in concert

Stephen Wade, an award-winning American folk musician, writer, and researcher, will complete a two-day residency and host a concert at Lebanon Valley College February 16–17. The public is invited to his sessions and the concert on Feb. 17 at 7:30 p.m. in the Zimmerman Recital Hall of the Suzanne H. Arnold Gallery. The Music and English departments collaborated on a President’s Innovation Fund proposal to bring the Grammy-nominated artist to campus to discuss the use of American traditional music in interpreting society and cross-cultural communication.

Participation is open to all students, classes, faculty, and the public. While in residency, Wade will interact with students in the Music Department and other select departments, using American traditional music to help students understand the nature of American cultural diversity. Wade hopes they can use this understanding to interpret their current society and successfully foster relationships across cultural divisions. All attendees will also be able to hear Wade’s experiences from more than 40 years in the music industry.
