300th Anniversary Concert

November 7, 2012 - Pembroke, MA ~ Did you miss last Saturday's 300th Anniversary Concert at Pembroke High School?  Or were you there and need an encore? 

Well, we have it all, from composer Richard Tuttle's “Pembroke Alma Mater” to composer Peter Glass's “Mattakeesett,” and everything in between.

Classical guitarist Mark Leighton  got a standing ovation after playing Prelude # 1 by Hector Villa-Lobos.

Soloist Sarah Alfano had the entire crowd laughing at her silly facial expressions and postural antics accompanying the singing of “Taylor, the Latte Boy.”
 

Peter Glass's unique and moving masterpiece “Mattakeesett,” composed specifically for this Town event, was played and sung in its entirety for the first time before a live audience of Pembroke residents.  The lyrics were written as a combined effort by Peter Glass, Kelsey Hackett, Jameson Kidder, Karen McConarty, Michaela Ng, Kendra Smith, Michael Stockdale, Mathew Suckow, and Matthew Winn.

The concert was presented by Pembroke's High School Music Department. Singers and musicians from the school and community joined forces for this historic evening commemorating the 300th anniversary of Pembroke's incorporation.
