In the Stacks: The Bayberries

Join us for an exploration of the connections between women, music, and the natural world, brought to life through performance and archival discovery.

Featured Performance:
The Bayberries (Hana Morford, Samantha Flores, and Danielle Williams) will perform original music rooted in bluegrass and folk traditions, enriched with classical touches and global influences.

This program invites audiences to reflect on how music shapes human relationships with nature and one another. Complementing the performance, historic bound volumes of sheet music from Sheridan Libraries Special Collections will provide deeper insights. These volumes, created and collected by women from the early nineteenth through the twentieth centuries, reveal how music has preserved cultural memory and connected families and communities across generations.

Together, the music and materials will illustrate how people have turned to both nature and song as sources of meaning, continuity, and connection.
