Forbes House Museum is excited to launch our new Heritage Music Series with this talented and widely acclaimed duo. Jay Ungar and Molly Mason are masters of American traditional music. Ken Burns played Jay’s haunting composition “Ashokan Farewell” twenty-five times during his award-winning 11-hour series The Civil War. Of their music Burns said they “play music from the heart which reminds us of the best in all of us.” The duo have recorded albums with the legendary James Galway and the celebrated baritone Thomas Hampson. They’ve been featured on Prairie Home Companion and provided the soundtrack to the acclaimed documentary film Brother’s Keeper.
