Our chorus has a wonderful program planned for MLK Day on Jan. 20th in Concord Center and really hope you can put articles in your newspaper these two weeks before that!

The program is on the Abolitionists and the Underground Railroad in Concord and will feature well-known spirituals interspersed with historical information presented by Concord historian Richard Smith:
Richard Smith has lectured on and written about antebellum United States history and 19th-Century American literature since 1995.

He has worked in Concord as a public historian and Living History Interpreter for 25 years and has portrayed Henry Thoreau at Walden Pond, around the country and in Canada.

The former Scholar In Residence for Longfellow's Wayside Inn, Richard has written or edited 11 books for Applewood books and is a regular contributor to Discover Concord Magazine.

The MUSIC MAKES ME HAPPY Chorus will give audience members song sheets so that they may sing along on the beloved spirituals.

The concert praises the courage of the enslaved people and the abolitionists who aided them, and encourages all of us to keep working for Freedom and Equality as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. has inspired and emboldened us to do.

Thank you for considering attending this energizing, fun, and informative program.

We really hope our fellow-citizens, our neighbors, will join us!
