Sunday, July 23 - Somerset County
Summer Concert at the Wallace House and Old Dutch Parsonage:
Songs of Nature
On Sunday, July 23, beginning at 1:30
p.m., balladeer Linda Russell will perform historical music at the Old
Dutch Parsonage historic site. Celebrate summer's cheer with songs of
the American colonies! When colonists first set foot in the New World, they
found a rich, raw landscape. Colonists saw nature as bounteous and beautiful but
also dangerous, a savage wilderness. Join balladeer Linda Russell as she performs music celebrating nature's harmonies with poetic depictions of birds and flowers. Playing the hammered and mountain dulcimers, penny whistle and guitar, Linda sings and plays ballads, love songs, dance tunes, and working songs written in early America and brought over from the Old World.
Linda Russell is a balladeer who brings America's past to life through
song. She has served for many years as musical historian for the National Park
Service at Federal Hall National Memorial and has performed at historic sites
throughout New York and New Jersey.
