Who are we?
The Cornell Folk Song Society is a non-profit membership organization that seeks to preserve and promote traditional and traditionally-oriented folk music both on and off campus. Membership is open to everyone and is FREE for Cornell Students. Founded in the 1950s, we've been known at one time or another as a "club" or a "society," but we've been a large part of the folk music scene in Ithaca through most of that time. You can read more about our history here.
Members get a discount on concert admission, a voice in deciding about activites and other benefits. Find out more about membership here.
What's happening?
There are no more concerts until fall, but singing parties will continue through the summer. Check the events page for the schedule.
So far the fall concert schedule includes the legendary Jay Ungar and Molly Mason and the becoming legendary Greg Greenway. Stay tuned for more.
Want to be part of it?
We always need more people interested in spending a few hours helping us out. We need people to help with:
- putting up posters
- helping with set up and breakdown of concerts
- hosting musicians
- hosting sings
We're also looking for someone who would like to get involved with the business management of the society/be a treasurer in training.
If you'd like to become involved, please contact Sophia Smith-Savedoff at sophiarella@gmail.com, or (607) 351-4763.
