They specialized in Eastern European choral music, sung primarily A cappella. Folk singer Theodore Bikel, in his autobiography Theo, called them &#8220;the closest to the real thing in authenticity in the United States.&#8221; They toured throughout the 1960s, appearing at the Sing Out! hootenanny at Carnegie Hall, the Fox Hollow Festival, and the Mariposa Folk Festival, among others. They shared the bill with performers such as Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Reverend Gary Davis, Leonard Cohen, and many others.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I picked up &#8220;The Pennywhistlers: Folksongs of Eastern Europe&#8221; on vinyl awhile back solely based on the cover, which has a very european folk art motif (made sense.. based on the record title..).
