The Newberry Consort: Revolution! Early American Music

Revolution! Early American Music
From the Signing of the Declaration of Independence to the Civil War
As the United States reaches its 250th anniversary, The Newberry Consort performs a program of music that shaped the founding of our nation. Using early American instruments such as the square piano, keyed bugle, fiddle, percussion, as well as an ensemble of vocal specialists, this concert connects America’s musical past and present through early American styles and composers.
