Join us for the “fiery repertoire” of musician and historian Richard Franklin Donahue, who will present songs and hymns published in New England during the Revolutionary War years. From the time of the Stamp Act through the British surrender at Yorktown. seditious colonists used these works to foment rebellion, commemorate victory, and give thanks for preservation. Richard Franklin Donahue, Tenor & Harpsicord will explore works that, in the words of John Adams, “cultivated the sensations of Freedom.” “What a glorious Crash they made” has been performed throughout the region in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution.
A most enjoyable evening of songs beautifully sung and their stories engrossingly told.
