Civil War Living History/ NH Master Chorale

[HEP170DW]

Now in their 12th season, the New Hampshire Master Chorale presents their final performances of the year featuring Lee Hoiby's inspiring "Last Letter Home," which sets the text of a letter written by U.S. Army tank crewman, Jesse Givens to his wife and children in 2003. The June 13th and 14th performances will also include a newly composed work by Master Chorale composer-in-residence, Dr. Jonathan Santore, who has set the poetry of Herman Melville, along with civil war-era music and African American spirituals.

The June 13th performance in Concord, NH will be preceded by a Civil War Camp Re-enactment on the State House Lawn from 10:00am-6:00pm by the Fifth Regiment New Hampshire Volunteers, founded in 1981 to recreate and honor of New Hampshire’s Company A, formed in 1861 to assist in preserving the union. The NHMC performance will begin at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church at 7:00pm.



The June 14th performance in Plymouth, NH will be preceded by the Baker Valley Band, an old style wind band playing civil war era instrumental music, on the Plymouth Common at 3:00pm. The NHMC performance will begin at 4:00pm at the Plymouth Congregational Church.
