Revolution! Early American Music from the Signing of the Declaration of Independence to the Civil Wa

As the United States reaches its 250th anniversary, The Newberry Consort performs a program of music that shaped the founding of our nation. Using early American instruments such as the square piano, keyed bugle, fiddle, percussion, as well as an ensemble of vocal specialists, this concert connects America’s musical past and present through early American styles and composers. The program also features a world premiere of an original composition for American period instruments and voices written by composer and bass-baritone Jonathan Woody.
