Jay Ungar and
Molly Mason achieved
international acclaim when their performance of Jay's composition,
Ashokan Farewell, became the musical hallmark of Ken Burns' The
Civil War on PBS. The soundtrack won a Grammy and Ashokan Farewell
was nominated for an Emmy. The piece was originally inspired by
Jay & Molly's Ashokan Fiddle & Dance Camps in New York's Catskill
Mountains, which are still going strong today.
In recent
years, Jay and Molly have reached an ever widening audience through
their appearances on Great Performances, A Prairie Home Companion,
their own public radio specials, and through their work on film
soundtracks such as, Brother’s Keeper, Legends of the Fall and a
host of Ken Burns' PBS documentaries.
