EVENTS
The mission of the Folk School of St. Louis is to build community by providing educational programs that promote the learning, teaching, renewal, and perpetuation of traditional music and folk arts.

The Folk School is building a community of musicians working together to strengthen and preserve our musical heritage. The Folk School offers opportunities for students to gather both informally and formally to make, enjoy, and celebrate music.
