Events for December 08, 2011

Christmas Hymns You Thought You Knew
Separate ticket required with any Historic Area or museum admission pass. All tickets $6.
Location: DeWitt Wallace Museum
Event Website

Join John Turner and Michael Monaco as they take a fresh look at familiar carols and hymns from Christmases past. Sing familiar words and (sometimes) unfamiliar tunes accompanied by harpsichord, fiddle, recorder, or pochette. Learn more about the carols you've sung since before you can remember—and some of their original titles, such as "Ye Faithful Approach Ye" and "Hark! How All the Welkin Rings."]

An Un-Civil Christmas: Holiday Music of the Civil War. (NEW)
Tickets are $15 for adults and $7.50 for children under six
Event Website

Should you celebrate a holiday during wartime? Often, soldiers and their families looked to familiar traditions, especially music, to remind them not only of better times with loved ones, but also of the ideals for which they were fighting. Join our folk musicians as they share anecdotes and Christmas songs that gave both sides strength and comfort during the American Civil War. Courthouse. Reservations or additional tickets required. Call 1-800-HISTORY for prices and reservations.
