Be Swift My Soul… A Civil War Salon (at FSU)
On Sunday, February 12th, 2012 from 1:30-3:00pm, join Libby Franck as Julia Ward Howe, a woman who produced perhaps the most stirring and recognizable lines of music in U.S. history. *** Julia’s many famous acquaintances, travels and love of language and music all gave birth to the compelling verses of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, which were first sung in Framingham at the Plymouth Church nearly 150 years ago on February 22, 1862. *** Music of the era will be performed. *** Program is held at the Heineman Ecumenical & Cultural Center at Framingham State University, (take State St. to Maynard Road within the campus). *** Following the performance, refreshments will be served at the Alumni House, 42 Adams Rd., Framingham.
