@1775 Concert in Watertown Features Music That Inspired the Founding Fathers

By |

The following announcement was provided by Sarasa Ensemble:

As part of the semiquincentennial celebration of our nation and the Battles of Lexington and Concord taking place in Eastern Massachusetts in 2025, Sarasa will present a chamber music program for soprano, violin, two cellos, and fortepiano that highlights works which would have been performed around the time of the American Revolution. In celebrating these historic events with our local communities, Sarasa hopes to connect a diverse local audience with music that inspired our Founding Fathers. Sarasa will present “@1775” at three public performances, as well as to incarcerated teens at Massachusetts’ Department of Youth Services facilities, as part of Sarasa’s award-winning Music Unlocked program. Sarasa’s concert program takes its inspiration from the Bach-Abel Concerts in London (inaugurated in 1765, and became a fixture at the Hanover Square Rooms in 1775), Le concert spirituel in Paris (founded in 1725), and the Tonkünstler Societät in Vienna (founded in 1772); all of these organizations brought music to the wider public and for the greater benefit of society as well as its musicians. Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams attended concerts at these benevolent institutions during their diplomatic travels.
