Program Description

Event Details

One part history lecture; one part folk concert. Music of the Civil War expresses the hardship, pain, love and humor of those involved in the conflict and those left behind. This program features live performances of music popular in the North, music popular in the South, and songs that crossed those boundaries and helped heal a nation. From foot stomping “Dixie” to the somber “Auction Block” ballad about slavery, this program will take the audience on a historical musical journey.
