The Pemigewesset Choral Society invites you to join us for our 42nd spring concert series. Under the direction of Leslie McDonnell and assistant director William Gunn, with pianist Grace Templeton, our program, titled American Tapestry, includes music from the serious to the fun.

Throughout our history, we have been a culture blended from many cultures to create this wonderful country we call our home. In our concert we will highlight the immigrants who came to America (where they came from and why they came), what they found here and liked about America, and finish the program with a variety of patriotic songs. Wi’ A Hundred Pipers, Shenandoah, In stiller Nacht, The Road to Freedom, and God Bless America are just a taste of what is in store.

Mary Lloyd-Evans and Donovan Freeman of East Andover are singing in the concert.

The concert will be performed at three area venues: on Thursday, May 7, at 7:30 PM at Gilford Community Church (admission by donation); on Friday, May 8, at 7:30 PM at St Paul’s Roman Catholic Church in Franklin (admission by donation); and on Sunday, May 11, at 3 PM at the Hanaway Theatre at Plymouth State University. Tickets fo the Plymouth performance are $10 and are available in advance by calling 535-ARTS. Any remaining tickets will be at the door.
