Playing traditional American Cajun, bluegrass and country western music, the Folk Music Ensemble taps the roots of BYU's pioneer heritage to present a colorful display of harmony and rapid-fire instrumental work. The group features banjo, guitar, mandolin and fiddle solos, playing musical favorites from the 19th and 20th century.

Initially organized to accompany BYU's American Folk Ensemble at international folk festivals throughout the world, the BYU Folk Music Ensemble has become a powerful performing group in its own right, entertaining audiences throughout the United States and the world.
