Lincoln: Music and Dance of His Time
Sunday February 12, 2012
Enjoy an entertaining afternoon of music and dance for the entire family featuring a performance of the dramatic oratorio “For The People” by Gettysburg College composer John “Buzz” Jones. Commissioned in 2009 to celebrate the Lincoln bicentennial, this musical portrait of our 16th president transports listeners back to mid 19th century. Lincoln poetry and letters are narrated by James Getty, America’s foremost portrayer of Abraham Lincoln. The concert also includes vocal selections by New York City bass-baritone Roosevelt Credit, Sunderman Conservatory of Music faculty Kathleen Sasnett and Jeffrey Fahnestock, period music by the Spires Brass Band, and quadrilles and waltzes performed by the Victorian Dance Ensemble.
