Performance: 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM

A song recital celebrating 250 years of the American experience

Performed at the Davidson County Historical Museum, sponsored by The Edward C. Smith Civic Center.

Presented as a live radio broadcast, American Odyssey takes audiences on a journey through 250 years of American song, from the parlor and the revival to the protest march and the Broadway stage. Hosted at the historic Davidson County Courthouse in Lexington, NC, this recital traces the story of America through its music, connecting major moments in American history and legal tradition to the songs that defined them. Featuring works drawn from the many communities that make up the American story, performed by Reverend Kenneth Alexander Pettigrew, Logan Webber and Arianna Bohning, this is a chance to reflect on, appreciate and celebrate the full American experience.

A part of The Opera Lite series through Piedmont Opera.
