DESCRIPTION:May 7-10\, 2026\n1776 to 1861: 85 years in which America wasn
 ’t coming up to its own mark\, minted in The Declaration of Independence
 : “We hold these truths to be self-evident\, that all men are created eq
 ual &#8230\;” The Newberry Consort fills that time span—from revolutio
 n to reckoning—with square piano\, keyed bugle (which started the brass 
 band movement in 19th-century America)\, fiddle\, percussion\, and an ense
 mble of vocal specialists. Music on the program comes from a wide variety 
 of American cultures and traditions\, including choral and sacred harp mus
 ic\, Moravian sacred music\, solo salon and cotillion music\, military mus
 ic\, spirituals\, and abolitionist music. There’s also a world premiere 
 composition for American period instruments (and voices) by the composer a
 nd bass-baritone Jonathan Woody.
