375th Anniversary Celebration April 6, 2014
The Sudbury Historical Society marks the town's 375th year with a special performance of 17th-century music for voice and viols. Sudbury's first pastor, Reverend Edmund Brown, was a self-taught viol player who brought his bass viol and an extensive music collection to the colonies in 1638. Musicologist Stephen Loikith has researched a program reconstructing Rev. Brown's musical life; it includes hymns, consorts and songs by Byrd, Tallis, Gibbons, Kirbye and others. With Sarah Orlovsky, soprano. First Parish Church, 327 Concord Rd. Sudbury, MA |
