Hi
I'm
Consuelo,
Cruz
and
I'm
with
the
office
of
culture
and
creative
services,
and
I'm
here
at
folk,
Alliance
internationals
world
headquarters
in
Kansas,
City's
River
Market,
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
an
event
that
is
supported
by
the
city.
It's
one
of
the
many
cultural
and
arts
events
that
are
happening
here
this
year
and
it's
the
folk
Alliance
international
conference
and
I'm
so
happy
to
be
here
and
have
Angus
finan.
A
Who
is
the
executive
director
of
folk
Alliance
international
to
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
the
conference
and
guess
there
is
so
much
happening
with
this
conference.
There's
2,500
people
that
are
gonna
be
coming
from
around
the
world.
So
can
you
tell
us
kind
of
give
us
some
snippets
about
what
we
can
expect
from
the
conference
and
how
Kansas
Citians
can
also
participate?
Absolutely.
B
Well,
it's
a
it's
a
five-day
conference
that
brings
together
agents,
managers,
presenters
and
artists
from
20
different
countries,
and
they
come
here
to
do
their
their
business
meetings
and
networking
for
the
year.
So
it
is
an
industry
event,
but
we
also
have
many
options
for
the
public
to
come.
We
have
evening
showcases
concerts
each
night.
We
have
an
awards
gala
on
Wednesday
februari,
the
17th.
B
We
have
a
music
camp
that
takes
place
in
the
Sheridan
for
have
musicians
of
any
age
or
level
to
come
and
take
master
classes
and
lessons
with
instructors
from
around
the
world
and
this
year
we're
launching
on
Sunday,
februari,
21st
and
indoor
folk
festival.
So
anybody
in
Kansas
City,
whether
they're
a
musician
or
not,
can
come
and
see
some
of
the
finest
local,
regional,
national
and
international
artists.
We
have
a
square
dance
and
artisans
market
and
a
gospel
session
in
the
morning.
So
it's
going
to
be
great
family
fun
for
everyone
at.
A
Great
because
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
that
people
want
to
know
about
is
it
is
it
family
friendly
can
I
bring,
my
kids
can
I
bring
the
entire
family.
The
other
thing
that
I
read
about
was
the
music
camps,
so
people
can
come
and
take
classes,
whether
you're
a
musician,
that's
just
starting
out
whether
you're
an
adult,
whether
you're
a
child,
and
you
can
take
music
lessons
from
masters
from
musical
masters.
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
that?
Well,.
C
B
Is
geared
to
musicians
of
all
ages
and
stages?
So
there
are
lessons
in
fiddle
technique
banjo
technique.
If
someone
wants
to
study
with
a
master
musician
in
terms
of
guitar
technique
or
Medlen
vocal
workshops,
there's
also
master
classes
by
legends,
including
david
and
ram
of
members
of
the
text
maniacs.
So
anyone
who
wants
to
brush
up
on
their
cuanto
accordion
playing
it
really
is
quite
a
range
and,
and
everything
is
of
course
listed
on
our
website
at
folk,
gorg,
okay,.
B
It's
an
expensive
conference
to
come
to
because
it
is
an
industry
event,
but
we
have
a
need
for
volunteers
and
250
volunteers
locally
and
in
exchange
for
16
hours
of
support
they
receive
free
registration
to
to
the
conference.
We
do
also
have
different
volunteer
needs
on
our
sunday
for
the
the
music
fair
and
in
exchange
for
four
hours
of
support.
They
have
access
to
that
indoor,
Folk
Festival.
So.
