SUMMARY:For Love! For Liberty! A New Musical
DESCRIPTION:For Love! For Liberty! Is a new musical theater production featuring delightful songs\, dance\, and characters. It bridges centuries\, set in Springfield Mass at the Springfield Army and in 1775-6 along the Knox trail. The story unfolds as middle-school history students help the US Park Service\, teachers and grandparents bring lessor known revolutionary heroes to to life. This moving presentation explores the true story of Henry (Harry) Knox\, the young Boston bookseller who\, in the winter of 1775–76\, hauled sixty tons of cannon over frozen lakes and mountains to save the American Revolution. At the center of his journey stands Lucy Knox\, who defies her loyalist family\, sacrifices her fortune\, and sustains Harry’s courage with letters and cake. \nThis production was created by Springfield Community Theater / Springfield Performing Arts Venture at 52 Sumner Avenue in Springfield. And was made possible by MA250 grant from The Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism\, Story and Lyrics by Vana Nespor and Music by Clifton (Jerry) Noble. Tickets available at 52sumner.com.

SUMMARY:Vivo Performing Arts Presents: Ruckus and Davóne Tines\, bass-baritone
DESCRIPTION:Bass-baritone Davóne Tines isn’t just a powerhouse vocalist—he’s a force of nature. Hailed as “a singer of immense power and fervor\,” and “[one] of the most powerful voices of our time” (Los Angeles Times)\, he brings more than just breathtaking sound to the stage. With boundless curiosity and razor-sharp intellect\, Tines delves into the stories that connect us\, exploring themes of perseverance\, identity\, and the connections that shape our lives. \nEarly music band Ruckus infuses every work with vitality and immediacy\, giving their period-instrument performances the spontaneity and verve of a jazz improvisation or pub session. \nTogether\, this ensemble and singular vocalist form the perfect pairing to reflect on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Giving new life to Colonial- and Revolutionary-era hymns\, ballads\, and Baroque compositions\, Ruckus and Tines embark on a musical journey that weaves through the pre-Civil War period\, the Civil Rights era\, and into the present day. \nhttps://www.vivoperformingarts.org/productions/davone-tines-and-ruckus/
