Project Banjo is a unique project led by musician Enzo Chiodi (pictured) to reimagine traditional American music while exploring the banjo’s place within contemporary songwriting.
The banjo is a stringed instrument identifiable by a circular membrane stretched over a frame to form a resonator. Its roots lie in instruments played in North Africa which were later introduced to the United States by enslaved people. Today, it is closely associated with the folk music of Southern and Appalachian communities.
Either accompanied with a drum, bass or a traditional bluegrass group, Project Banjo will shake your impression of what “banjo music” can be by breathing new life into old favorites.
Admission is free. Presented as part of the Three Rivers Arts Festival, a celebration of the arts in Pittsburgh since 1960. The festival is a production of the nonprofit Pittsburgh Cultural Trust.
