History through song


Linda Radtke

BELLOWS FALLS- The Stone Church Arts concerts series continues Saturday, September 29, at 7:30 pm with “Vermont History through Song.”  Singer Linda Radtke and pianist Arthur Zorn bring Vermont history to life with engaging commentary about the songs found in the Vermont Historical Society’s collection of sheet music. Concerts begin at 7:30 pm in the chapel at Immanuel Episcopal Church, the stone church on the hill, 20 Church Street.
Dressed in period costume and using the music Vermonters published and sang in their communities, Radtke guides listeners through our state’s history, from the earliest published song, “Green Mountain Farmer” (1798), through 1850 temperance ballads and Civil War-era songs, to songs about Vermonters Calvin Coolidge, Thomas Dewey, and Jim Fisk. Admission is by donation at the door.
