	Putting the Folk Back in Folk Music: Sixty Years of the University of Chicago Folk Festival [Temporarily Closed] From its first concerts in the early 1950s , the University of Chicago Folklore Society has been a major driving force in the nation for presenting exceptional traditional musicians from their source communities to new audiences. Its first festival, in February 1961, drew national attention for its outstanding artistic quality and traditionalist focus, in contrast to the singer songwriting and more distanced relationship to traditions of the folk music revival sweeping the United States. Over the years, popular interest in traditional folk music has waxed and waned, while the Festival resiliently keeps to its time tested format while continuing to introduce new musicians from a wide array of cultures.
