Who We Are

We started Ministry of Folk in April 2020 to create an online environment that could provide teaching and performance opportunities and compile resources for the musicians of the folk community around the world who are facing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As we livestream our way through the next weeks or months, let’s remember the power of music to bring us together physically… Let’s hold onto that feeling of togetherness. We know it will come again. In the meantime, let’s support the musicians who will sustain our well-being now and will help rebuild our communities when the time comes.”

Laura Risk, fiddler and musicologist
