American Heritage Concert Series

Next program will be March or April, 2009.
Initial thought, subject to change, is "Broadway Meets Hollywood"
But we still plan to bring back the best elements of the 2008 "Ragtime, Jazz, and Swing!" program with jazz music and a return of those wonderful swing dancers!
                     
at Lombard's historic Maple Street Chapel

The American Heritage Concert Series is an annual program whose proceeds benefit the preservation of the Maple Street Chapel.  Given the chapel’s significance in the history of the Village of Lombard, a program dedicated to our American heritage of music is most appropriate.  Past programs have included music of native American Indians, a piece believed to have been written by Benjamin Franklin, Abe Lincoln Portrait, The Story of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, a salute to Walt Disney, and John Williams and George Gershwin highlights.

                   

Programs Under Consideration (early planning stages)

     "Broadway Meets Hollywood" (Musical and Movie Themes)

     Famous Americans (Lincoln Portrait, Benjamin Franklin Quartet, American Voices

     Popular Composers

In addition to the presentation of American music, the program salutes Americans who serve: the armed forces, fire and police personnel, and teachers.  During The Armed Forces Salute (a medley of the hymns of the branches of the service), audience members’ names are announced and the people asked to stand.  In addition, a page of the program is dedicated to individual stories of courage.
