Illustrated lecture by Anthony Seeger, Curator and Director Emeritus, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings and Distinguished Professor of Ethnomusicology Emeritus, University of California, Los Angeles

The intertwined lives of three generations of the Seeger family and three generations of the Lomax family had a profound influence on the sounds of music in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Activist musician Pete Seeger and musical polymath Alan Lomax are the best known of these families, but there were many more who were influential in some way or another. The talk will be presented by a third-generation member of the Seeger family and illustrated with recordings, photographs and live music
