"Song on the Wind" Comes to Town for Birthday

The musical drama, "Song on the Wind", will be performed by New Life Fine Arts and will run from Friday, Sept. 10 to Sept. 19 at The Emerson Umbrella for the Arts.

"We want to share the story with the residents in Concord," states Joe Rosato, Publicity Director for New Life Fine Arts. 

In recognition of Concord's 375th Anniversary, it is the story of The Native American Musketequid people who lived in Concord when the English settled here in 1635.

According to the Native American legend, the "Song on the Wind" referred to the beguiling melody that was heard near the coastal shores of the Atlantic Ocean. 

The Pastor of New Life Church and Director and Founder of New Life Fine Arts and writer of  "Song on the Wind," David MacAdam, worked extensively with the Praying Indians to create the "Song on the Wind" production. 

Originally produced and performed at Littleton High School in 2004, Rosato notes the current production is "more focused on Concord's history." The cast is comprised of over 50 members with participants coming from over 17 different churches.

The musical reveals the human story between the English settlers and Native American Indians and chronicles the first 45 years of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

"The historical events are taken from actual accounts", notes Rosato and embrace the true stories of human connection that developed between the English Puritan colonists and the Indian people.
