Music and Dance of the Shakers - Bach's Lunch, Dec. 6 & 13
|
|
|
Mary Ann Haagen
|
Thursday, December 6, 12:10pm: Mary Ann Haagen presents "For Dancing is the Soul's Delight: Shaker Marches, Dances and Motioning Songs." Haagan, a longtime scholar of Shaker arts from Enfield, NH, will explore the Shakers' use of movement to generate and sustain spiritual energy in worship. Learn about how the Shakers' dance tradition connects to songs that describe the spiritual work accomplished through dance, and that articulate the ways in which physical movement propels Believers forward in their faith journey.
Thursday, December 13, 12:10pm: The Canterbury Singers, with director Kathryn Southworth, present "We Make You Kindly Welcome: A Shaker Christmas."
The Canterbury Singers originated at Canterbury Shaker Village more than 20 twenty years ago, and are now a program of the Concord Community Music School. The group has expanded into a musical community of devoted singers and admirers of the Shaker legacy. In addition to sharing traditional and Christmas related tunes, hymns, and anthems of the Shakers, the Canterbury Singers will invite the audience to join them in traditional carols of the season.
Bach's Lunch programs are free and open to the public, and take place from 12:10 to 12:50pm on the first and second Thursdays of each month, November through May, in the Music School's Recital Hall, 23 Wall Street, downtown Concord.
The Bach's Lunch Series is sponsored by the Timothy and Abigail B. Walker Lecture Fund and the Engelke Heggie Gratefulness Fund. For more information, call 603-228-1196 or visit the Music School's website.
