SUMMARY
The 1986 Neptune Plaza Concert Series Collection consists of manuscript
and print materials, audio recordings, and graphic materials that document

annual series, which began in 1977, features the presentation of folk traditions
from many cultures. The concerts take place on the Neptune Plaza at the
front of the Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress between April
