In celebration of the country's semiquincentennial, enjoy “New Songs” and Hymns published in Connecticut during the American Revolution.  From the time of the Stamp Act through the British surrender at Yorktown, Connecticut’s seditious colonists used these works to foment rebellion, commemorate victory, and give thanks for preservation.   Richard Franklin Donohue, Tenor & Harpsichord, will explore this fiery repertoire that in the words of John Adams “cultivated the sensations of Freedom.”   Richard Franklin Donohue is a singer, private music instructor, and historian. A life -long performer, Richard specializes in historic music ranging from Middle English Carols to 19th century romantic music. He studied music at the University of Connecticut and has been teaching Piano, Voice, and Music Theory since 1992.  Richard is the Town Historian of his hometown of Cromwell, Connecticut and has been the President and Program Director of the Cromwell Historical Society for twenty years.   He is the author of "Rosetown Review," a monthly history article published in the Cromwell Life newspaper and presents historical lectures throughout New England on a wide range of topics. Check out Mr. Donohue's website at: www.rfranklindonohue.com.  This event is free and open to everyone! Registration is required. Please register by calling the library at: 203-468-3890 or contact Cynthia Gwiazda, Community Services Librarian at: cgwiazda@hagamanlibrary.org.

The Elm City Chorus is made up of both male &amp; female singers, having evolved from a Barbershop Chorus founded in New Haven in 1947. Our primary purpose is to bring the joy of hearing choral music to audiences living in nursing homes and rehabilitation centers. We provide music to our singers so that they can have the words in front of them; most of our songs are familiar American songs - we basically try to create a sing-along quality. <br><br>We are always happy to welcome people who like to sing. If singing in a chorus interests you, please contact Mike Ryan at either 203-283-5133 or <a href="mailto:mikeryan2011@gmail.com" target="_blank"><u><u><u>mikeryan2011@gmail.com</u></u></u></a>.
