SUMMARY:Cabin Fever Concert @ Historic Graham House
DESCRIPTION:CABIN FEVER is back! – Saturday\, Feb. 22 @ Graham House\n\nThe second annual Cabin Fever concert at the historic Graham House in Lowell\, WV is right around the corner and promises to be a great show! On Saturday\, February 22nd\, from 3 PM to 5 PM\, three very talented musicians – Tish Westman\, Hunter Walker\, and Lewis Prichard – will join Appalachian duo Little Maggie to present a mix of traditional and original songs and tunes featuring a passel of instruments from clawhammer banjo to upright bass\, fiddle to bowed psaltery\, lap dulcimer to ukelele\, mandolin to autoharp and more\, in combinations perhaps never before heard.\n\nFor Tish Westman music is a way of life. As a youngster\, she often found herself in trouble for whistling and humming at school. She now teaches\, performs\, sings\, and composes on a variety of instruments\, most notably lap dulcimer and bowed psaltery. Since 2001\, she and her husband Greg have been the resident woodworkers at Tamarack where they build and sell instruments along with recordings and books of music instruction in their Noted Note style. In addition\, they produce an annual Bowed Psaltery Symphony performance featuring as many as 60 musicians from across the United States. Among all these pursuits\, Westman says her greatest passion is teaching others to play and watching them experience the joy of music. In 2011\, she performed on Mountain Stage with her group Psaltrio\, which included a budding young musician named Hunter Walker.\n\nWalker began learning dulcimer from Westman when he was 13 years old. A quick learner\, he started competing and went on to win numerous competitions including the West Virginia State Championship. But he didn’t stop there! His prodigious skill on clawhammer banjo landed him more first-place wins including another state title. To hear him play is to appreciate why. He’s an in-demand musician with extensive performance experience\, a composer\, a teacher known for his kind\, approachable style\, a founding member of Long Point String Band\, and a West Virginia native proud of his roots.\n\nLewis Prichard\, also from West Virginia\, grew up in a musical family and began playing guitar at an early age. He took up mandolin as a teen and fiddle in his twenties. Skilled in a variety of genres from Old-Time to Celtic\, his instrumental versatility and easy demeanor make him a welcome addition to many ensembles. Past adventures include taking his music as far away as Norway and playing in Virginia’s Mando Mafia. He is currently a member of Beckley\, West Virginia’s Long Point String Band and Greenhouse of Lexington\, Virginia.\n\nRounding out this unique collaboration will be Mary Dailey and Cheryl Mansley of Little Maggie with songs old and new – heartfelt\, humorous\, and haunting – as well as instrumental accompaniment on some ordinary and not-so-ordinary instruments. As hosts of a monthly Old-Time Mountain Music Jam\, Dailey and Mansley love fostering community participation in the living tradition of Appalachian music. This year’s Cabin Fever concert is dedicated to that tradition and will celebrate the tunes and songs\, musicians and instruments\, and listeners – all part of what makes it so grand.\n\nThe Graham House is located at 131 Graham House Road in Lowell\, West Virginia\, off Rt. 12 (also Rt. 3)\, between Talcott & Pence Springs. Admission is $20/person at the door. Cash only\, please. Doors open at 2:15 PM\, and seating is first come\, first served.\nIn case of inclement weather\, the concert will take place the next day\, Sunday\, February 23rd. For more information contact Cheryl Mansley at 304-702-0554 or cherylmansley@gmail.com\, or visit ArtBeat of the Mountains on Facebook.\n\nWe would like to thank Graham House\, the New River Gateway CVB\, and the Hinton Area Foundation for their support in making this event possible. We look forward to seeing you at this one-of-a-kind show that’s sure to cure even the most serious case of cabin fever!

SUMMARY:Vienna Boys Choir at the Robinson Grand
DESCRIPTION:Experience the voices that have captivated emperors\, presidents\, and audiences across the globe for over 500 years. The world-renowned Vienna Boys Choir brings their angelic harmonies and distinctive charm to Clarksburg for one night only.\n\nRenowned as one of the finest vocal ensembles in the world\, the choir—specifically the touring Mozart choir under the direction of conductor Manuel Huber—will perform a breathtaking repertoire that spans the ages. From medieval masterpieces and classical treasures by Mozart and Schubert to spirited Austrian folk songs and contemporary world hits\, this concert promises a journey through the heart of musical history.\n\nWitness the “crystalline sound” and “purity of tone” that led UNESCO to recognize their tradition as part of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity. This is more than a concert; it is a rare opportunity to hear the living legacy of the Imperial Chapel in the acoustic splendor of the Robinson Grand.\n\nThe Vienna Boys Choir is proudly presented by the Cultural Foundation of Harrison County with the support of the Barbara B. Highland Fund for the Arts.

SUMMARY:Morgantown Crankie Festival
DESCRIPTION:Monongalia Arts Center (MAC)107 High Street\, Morgantown\, WV \nThe Morgantown Crankie Festival is a new\, community-centered celebration of crankies — handmade scrolling artworks performed live with music\, poetry\, and story. \nA crankie (sometimes called a moving panorama) is a low-tech storytelling form with deep roots in folk traditions around the world. Images are painted\, printed\, cut\, or sewn onto a long scroll and wound between two spools inside a small “theater.” As the performer turns a crank\, the images move across the screen\, revealing a story over time. Crankies combine visual art\, music\, and narrative into an intimate\, collaborative performance experience. \nThe Morgantown Crankie Festival celebrates crankies as both an art form and a community practice — where visual artists\, musicians\, poets\, storytellers\, and tradition-bearers come together to make something magical with simple materials. \n\nWhat to Expect\nThe weekend will feature: \n\n\n 	\nMultiple public crankie performances \n\n 	\nA mix of locally-made crankies and visiting guest artists \n\n 	\nInterdisciplinary collaborations between musicians and visual storytellers \n\n 	\nCrankie-making workshops and informal gatherings in the MAC maker space \n\n\nPerformances will take place Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon and evening\, with additional events leading up to the festival. \n\nA Season of Crankies\nMorgantown Crankie Fest isn’t just a weekend — it’s a season of activity designed to build local participation and excitement: \n\n\n 	\nCrankies at First Friday (April 3\, 2026) — An early festival preview at the MAC. \n\n 	\nLiterary + Crankie Night (April 9\, 2026) — Featuring published authors and artists whose work intersects with visual storytelling and song. \n\n 	\nCommunity crankie-making sessions — Informal gatherings for artists and curious newcomers to work on their own crankies together. \n\n\nNo prior experience is required to participate. The festival invites anyone interested in folk traditions\, storytelling\, music\, visual art\, or community-based creativity to join in. \n\nFeatured Artists (Partial List)\nArtists joining us include creators from West Virginia and beyond\, including performers from Morgantown\, Elkins\, Pittsburgh\, Detroit\, Washington DC\, Pennsylvania\, and Wales. The festival highlights both emerging local artists and established crankie-makers working nationally and internationally. \nA full schedule\, artist lineup\, and ticket information will be announced closer to the festival. \n\nAbout the Organizer\nThe Morgantown Crankie Festival is organized by Annick Odom\, a Morgantown-based performer\, composer\, and community artist whose work bridges Appalachian folk traditions\, storytelling\, and contemporary performance. Annick has participated in crankie and cantastoria events across the United States and internationally\, and is committed to building spaces where traditional arts and experimental practices can meet.
