PLYMOUTH – Pilgrim Festival Singers, a small ensemble drawn from the Pilgrim Festival Chorus community choral group, will present its summer concert series, “Remembering … Songs of War, Songs of Peace,” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 13, in the First Trinitarian Church, at 381 Country Way in Scituate; at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, June 14, at the Central Congregational Church, at 2 Webster St. in Middleborough; and at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 20, at the Church of the Pilgrimage, at 8 Town Square in Plymouth.
In the spirit of American patriotism, the concert features a repertoire associated with America’s conflicts from the Revolutionary War through present day, directed by William B. Richter and accompanied by pianist Elizabeth Chapman Reilly. From marching songs, such as “Yankee Doodle” and “Dixie,” to popular songs that have become associated with a specific conflict, such as “Tipperary” and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” you will be taken on a tour of the songs America sang during its various wars over the last 250 years.
Tickets for the performances are $10 and may be purchased at the door, by calling Gail at 781-826-8416 or online at www.pilgrimfestivalchorus.org. For more information on the concert or PFC, visit www.pilgrimfestivalchorus.org or follow Pilgrim Festival Chorus on Facebook.
