Mountain Strings and Folk Music Ensembles

Mountain Strings, BYU’s traditional and contemporary folk music ensemble, performs a variety of music styles from the American tradition and from the British Isles and Canada. The band consists of seven talented student musicians who play a wide variety of instruments–including fiddle, guitar, mandolin, bass, piano, banjo, accordion, cello, flute, pennywhistle, harp, and percussion. Folk music concerts are meant to be fun. We invite the audience to sing along when appropriate, and to clap along as they feel so inclined.
