A Story of America’s Song – Saturday, May 16th, 7:00 pm
Join us for a musical journey through the sounds that shaped America. From early folk traditions brought by immigrants to the rhythms of blues and jazz, from the beloved melodies of the Great American Songbook to the energy of rock ’n’ roll and the storytelling of folk, country, and bluegrass, this concert explores the rich and diverse roots of American music.
Along the way, you will hear music connected to legendary songwriters and performers including Scott Joplin, Dave Brubeck, Hoagy Carmichael, Patsy Montana, Lennon-McCartney, and Paul Simon.
Featuring soloists, ensembles, and instrumentalists, the program traces how different cultures, traditions, and voices came together to create the uniquely American sound we know today.
After the program you are invited to the Center Town Hall for refreshments and to view the Scenes of America art display.
Scenes of America, Saturday, May 16th
4:00 pm – 6:30 pm and following A Story of America’s Song
America’s story is written not only in history books, but in the landscapes we cross and the everyday moments we live. Scenes of America bring together local artists and photographers who capture the beauty, character, and spirit our country through their own eyes.
From sweeping mountains and quiet coastlines to small-town streets and familiar daily rituals, this collection reflects the many faces of American life. Each piece tells a story—of place, of people, and of the moments that often pass by unnoticed but shape the rhythm of our communities.
Admission to these programs is free of charge, but donations are welcome and appreciated.
