Music During The Revolution
This year we commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution! Join us at the Wilton Historical Society on Wednesday, June 10th at 7:00 pm for a presentation about music during the Revolution by Christine Hauck.
Christine Hauck is a visual arts educator, lecturer, multimedia artist, and award-winning designer. Through her graffeast studio, she creates marketing, branding, and collateral materials. She holds an M.A. in History of Decorative Arts and Curatorial Studies from Parsons School of Design and the Cooper-Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, a degree in Graphics and Advertising from Parsons School of Design, including a postgraduate seminar in Japan, and a B.A. in Art History from Vassar College. She was formerly an Adjunct Professor at the University of Connecticut in Digital Media.
This lecture will focus on the American Revolutionary Era (1763–1783) and what the residents of Wilton in 1776 would have been listening to at the time. Christine will share her research journey to identify the top composers or music makers of the area and the types of music popular in 1776 from patriotic and marching songs to social and dance music, to psalms and symphonies.
