SUMMARY:A Distant Love: Songs of John and Abigail Adams
DESCRIPTION:Song Cycle with libretto by Terry Quinn and music by Gary S. Fagin \n\n\n\n“A Distant Love: Songs of John and Abigail Adams”\, with libretto by Terry Quinn and music by Gary S. Fagin\, celebrates one of the most consequential and influential couples of the Colonial period during a time when our America’s fortunes hung in precarious balance. This song cycle for soprano\, baritone and string quartet covers the 11-year period when\, except for intermittent visits home\, John was abroad raising money for the American Revolution and Abigail was tending the Adams homestead. “A Distant Love” renders the flavor of this extraordinary couple’s time apart\, based on the extensive correspondence of these two “dearest friends” — their passions\, hopes\, doubts and anxieties; their complexities and half-hidden emotions; their most intimate thoughts.

SUMMARY:Declare Independence: Tear Down the King
DESCRIPTION:Join the Old Stone House for a family-friendly reenactment of a Revolutionary turning point + the Urban Park Rangers. \n\n\n\nAfter General George Washington ordered the Declaration of Independence read aloud to American troops in Manhattan and Brooklyn preparing for a British assault in July 1776\, servicemen tore down and cut apart the gilded statue of King George III at Bowling Green. This act shocked the royal families of Europe and continues to serve as a symbol of liberation today. \n\n\n\nJoin Scholar-in-Residence Dylan Yeats for a fun\, family-friendly reenactment of this historic event in front of the Old Stone House. Visitors will be encouraged to write tyrannies they seek to declare independence from on a re-created statue of King George III.
