This thesis explores values, identities, and practices found within community organizations and academic institutions that are
mediated and made manifest in old-time ensembles and their surrounding music communities. The multi-site study includes primary ethnography
from the author’s six years of participation and musicianship in the old-time ensembles at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and
Florida State University, as well as the surrounding communities of Greensboro and Tallahassee. The complex workings of these ensembles are
contrasted with more established and performance-based programs, both in community folk music settings and in traditional university music
schools. These old-time ensembles catalyze issues of individual and group identity, institutionalism and administration, invented and
historical tradition, and folk music practice. / A Thesis submitted to the College of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of
