Chesterwood to Host Tanglewood Music Fellows
Arts and Culture, History and Heritage, Performing Arts & Entertainment
July 17 | 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Chesterwood, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, announces a first time ever partnership with the Tanglewood Learning Institute, presenting a free, community performance by the Tanglewood Music Fellows. The program will be Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight: A Cantata of Lamentation for Mezzo-Soprano, Violin, Cello and Piano, a chamber piece based on a 1914 poem by American poet Vachel Lindsay. It portrays Abraham Lincoln walking the streets of Springfield, Illinois, stirred from his eternal sleep, a man, who even in death, is burdened by the tragedies of the modern world. The poem was set to music in 1953 by American composer Roy Ellsworth Harris (1898 – 1979), who wrote music on many American subjects and is best known for his Symphony No. 3. Seating is limited and reservations are required. See the Event Website to make reservations.
