CONCORD, MA July 16, 2003
This week the Concord Band's Thursday night concert at Fruitlands Museums
in Harvard celebrates great American songwriters. The band will perform
Hoagy Carmichael's Startdust, Richard Rogers' music from South
Pacific, and the patriotic songs of Irving Berlin. As an added treat,
vocalists Nancy Williams-Morizio and Michael Morizio, both of Marlboro,
will sing the classic songs of Cole Porter. No tribute to American
songwriters would be complete without a march or two by John Philip
Sousa.

Thursday night through July 31st at 7:30 PM. The gates open at
5:00 PM. Bring a picnic supper or purchase grilled items and snacks on
