Chicago Folklore Ensemble
Chicago Folklore Ensemble celebrates Chicago’s immigrant musicians and helps share and pass on their stories and musical knowledge through performances that interweave music and storytelling. Chicago Folklore Ensemble’s mission is to create high quality performances that bring attention to the artistic contributions of immigrants, make traditional music more accessible, deepen understanding of the music’s cultural and historical contexts, and encourage cross-cultural bridge building in Chicago and beyond.
