A live concert of American singing school music from 1700s to 2000s.
The Essex Harmony is a Danvers based, secular, mixed voice, chorus. Founded by the late Glenn Mairo in 2006, our repertoire has grown under Tom Carmody’s direction. Our original inspiration, the ‘Singing School’ period of Colonial America (1765 –1835), has been greatly expanded up to and including contemporary American composers. Our mission is to preserve American choral music with emphasis on the Colonial ‘Singing School’ period. Our musical selections are put into context in every performance with a brief narration.
