About this event
Greatest Hits of 1776: Music by Billings, Mozart, Haydn, among others
(two guitars)
The Newman & Oltman Guitar Duo, comprising Raritan River Music co-founding directors Laura Oltman and Michael Newman, take us on a journey of Revolutionary-era music from Europe and the newly-forming American nation.
Musical and other cultural connections abound: music by Haydn was first presented in America in the Moravian community of nearby Bethlehem, Pennsylvania; Mozart’s librettist Lorenzo da Ponte came from Italy to live in Elizabeth, New Jersey; the venue for this concert, Bethlehem Presbyterian Church, was founded in the hamlet of Grandin (Hunterdon County) in 1730 and was influential in the community throughout the 18th century.
