Mary Beth sings traditional Appalachian melodies from her childhood to 
introduce the classical works in the program. So much of classical 
literature is inspired by, and derived from traditional folk melodies

audiences assume.Both of these genres communicate and elevate the human 
spirit and her hope is to connect with audiences from as many varied 
backgrounds as possible, and connect them to each other.
