From Plimoth to Yorktown: A Musical Journey

In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, the early music ensemble Seven Times Salt presents "From Plimoth to Yorktown: Music of Early America," Sunday, June 1 at 4 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Church in Marblehead.

"From Plimoth to Yorktown" traces the musical heritage of the first settlers through the dawn of American independence, offering a rich tapestry of early colonial life, patriotism and resilience. The program features English catches, early shape-note hymns, songs of liberty and taxation, wartime laments and even George Washington’s favorite dance tunes. Audiences will hear works by Ravenscroft, Arne, and Billings, selections from the Bay Psalm Book, and lively dance melodies preserved in 18th-century manuscripts.

Seven Times Salt, known for their engaging and historically informed performances, brings this music to life with a dynamic lineup of period instruments.

Admission: $20 suggested donation at the door (no reservations required).  All are welcome.
