SUMMARY:Ampersand: Music of the New Nation
DESCRIPTION:Ampersand brings “Music of the New Nation” to the Memorial House Museum at the George Washington Birthplace Monument. \nAmpersand’s special Revolutionary War-era program\, “Music of the New Nation” focuses on the experience of the home front and everyday people as they faced the battle for independence. Included are songs about the stirrings of revolution; the experiences of colonists in different walks of life; songs from soldiers on both sides of the conflict; a fiddle tune written by an enslaved person\, and protest songs written at the time. This trio of musicians brings guitar\, mandolin\, bouzouki\, hammered dulcimer\, cello\, and penny whistles to underscore rich vocal harmonies and great joy in sharing this traditional music with modern audiences.
