Abstract

Daniel Sheehy, director and curator of Smithsonian Folkways Recordings since 2000, will share his curatorial philosophy of "great music with a great story," which has guided his selection and production of more than two hundred recordings. Drawing on the principled legacy of Folkways Records founder Moses Asch, he explores Folkways' efforts to make the national museum's nonprofit record label "more than a record label" by aligning Smithsonian Folkways efforts with cultural causes and by expanding "the package of meaning" created with each publication.
