Golden Link's 50th Anniversary Celebration!

On May 18, 1971, a group of Rochester-area musicians gathered to start a folk music club “dedicated to the appreciation and enjoyment of folk music.” By September of that year, the name “Golden Link” had been chosen, inspired by the Folk-Legacy album called “The Golden Ring.” Some of the participants at that first meeting are still involved with Golden Link, which this year celebrates its 50th anniversary.

A 50th Anniversary is known as the Golden Anniversary so it's only appropriate that, to mark the occasion, Golden Link is holding a special concert featuring Rochester musicians of special significance to Golden Link, including:

Mitzie Collins & Barbara Jablonski

Bill Destler

Val Fowler

Allen Hopkins

Joe LaMay & Sherri Reese

Vern Lindberg

Bob & Karen Olyslager

Mike Reynolds

Niki Roosa

Patrick & Kathy Schwar

Dave Shaver

Christina Stewart 

Bob White

(not in performance order, subject to change)

There is no charge to attend the concert, which will be streamed on Golden Link’s Facebook and YouTube pages. 

After the concert, join us for a Zoom party where you can share stories about your involvement in Golden Link.

50th Anniversary Commemorative Pin

This concert also marks the launch of Golden Link’s 50th Anniversary Commemorative Pin, proceeds of which will be donated to the Joe Dady Memorial Scholarship Fund at The Hochstein School. The pin is metal and enamel with a butterfly clasp and comes in a convenient box for storage.

Sales of the 50th Anniversary pin start on May 1 and will be available in our online Golden Link Store.  Only 50 pins were ordered so supplies are limited.  Order early!
