Ola Belle Reed: I’ve Endured

Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery

The Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery presents Ola Belle Reed: I've Endured, an exhibition that explores the life and work of nationally recognized bluegrass musician Ola Belle Reed, contextualizing her achievements within a history of migration from rural Appalachia north in the twentieth century. With a voice born in the mountains and shaped by the hard times she lived and saw, Reed (1916–2002) established herself as a significant and influential banjo picker, singer, and songwriter of old-time mountain music.

This quasi-theatrical event, presented by UMBC's Collegium Musicum and Medieval and Early Modern Studies Minor, puts the audience and the performers in conversation and in close proximity, as would have occurred during a meeting of a musical society in seventeenth-century Tuscany.
