The Felde Family Ensemble, Berea, ca. 1958
From the John Jacob Niles Photographic Collection (source)
The family was best known as the Felde Family Ensemble, a musical group that included the mother and father and their seven children. Featuring choral and instrumental music ranging from simple folk hymns to classical music, they performed concerts in a variety of places, including churches, schools, hospitals and military bases. Maurice Felde served as a tenor vocalist and director of the ensemble and Mrs. Felde was the accompanist. According to an article in The Louisville-Courier about a Felde Family concert in 1958, the five oldest children played instruments (violins, violas, and a cello) and all seven of them sang. (source)

The date given on the exploreUK page above is 1887, but this seems to be a mistake - other sources give the date as 1956, which seems more likely.
The man on the right also appears in this photo, labeled "three students eating watermelon at the Watermelon Feast"(source)
