The Hadley Historical Society, in partnership with the
Porter-Phelps-Huntington Museum, presents The Red Skies Music Ensemble’s Corn Stalk Fiddles: Soundscape and Place in 19th Century Hadley, a research-based interpretive tour of the musical and social geography of 19th century Hadley.

Written by Red Skies’ Artistic Director and Co-Founder Trudy Williams, the show offers a fascinating narration illustrated by live music and theatrical vignettes, archival images, and a special appearance by the children’s Corn Stalk Fiddle Choir, directed by Cindy Naughton, Music Director of the Amherst Community
Theater.

Alan Weinberg, of the Hadley Historical Society, said that “the show is inspired and built around discovered items and documents in our collection and on research at the Porter-Phelps-Huntington Museum.”

Funded in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the Hadley Cultural Council, performances will take place at the Hadley Public Library, 50 Main Street, on Friday, June 28 at 7:30 pm and Saturday, June 29 at 7:30 pm. (Doors open at 7 pm.) Reservations are not required. Suggested donation: $15.
