History: Missouri Valley Folklife Society (MVFS) was founded in 1980 to encourage appreciation of the rich cultural heritage and ethnic background of the midwestern USA. It continues to work to provide a forum in which professional folklife artists can share their talents with the widest possible audience. Though many MVFS events have focused on the celtic and celtic roots music, a wide range of other genres have been sponsored, including Cajun French, French Canadian, Peruvian, Mexican, Blues, Americana, Bluegrass, and many others.

Membership:MVFS members provide the organization with additional and much needed financial support for the concert series, and qualify for discounts on concert tickets, the organization's newsletter, as well as the concert flyers.

Privacy Policy: Protecting your privacy is important to the Missouri Valley Folklife Society. No information is collected unless you have provided it to us voluntarily. At the same time, it seems reasonable to us that if you've requested information about one of our concerts, posted to the forum or purchased tickets, you might like to know about other concerts coming up. So the Missouri Valley Folklife Society may use information you provide -- such as your name, address and e-mail address -- to let you know about our upcoming events.

Missouri Valley Folklife Society does not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. Very occasionally we may allow another producer to send you information about an event that MVFS is not producing but that we're cosponsoring or otherwise supporting. By using this Website, you agree to this Privacy Statement. However, if you'd rather not receive notification of upcoming events, just send an email saying so to kcmusic@mvfs.org and we'll remove you from the mailing list, the email list or both as you prefer.
