To mark the occasion\, the Shaker Heritage Society will host a choral performance of Shaker music from the Revolutionary period and beyond\, researched and arranged by American composer Kevin Siegfried. Through song\, the performance will celebrate Ann Lee’s legacy as the founder of a movement dedicated to the Revolutionary ideal of liberty\, and a deep commitment to pacifism\, human equality\, and community. \nAfter the concert\, Brother Arnold Hadd\, from the Sabbathday Lake Shaker community in New Gloucester\, Maine\, will appear as a special guest and virtual speaker during a Shaker-inspired communal meal by Navona Catering. \n\n$60 General / $50 Members: Includes 4:00 pm concert and outdoor reception with refreshments and one drink ticket\n$130 General / $120 Members & Volunteers: Includes 4:00 pm concert and outdoor reception with refreshments and one drink ticket PLUS full dinner experience with cash bar and virtual presentation with Brother Arnold Hadd \n\nFor tickets\, visit: Eventbrite \nAs a composer and arranger deeply committed to the performance and preservation of early American music\, Kevin Siegfried has devoted much of his career to raising awareness of Shaker musical traditions. Choral arrangements from his “Shaker Harmony Collection” have been performed and recorded by choirs around the globe. “Lay Me Low\,” one of Siegfried’s most frequently performed Shaker arrangements\, was sung by The Joint Armed Forces Chorus at the State Funeral of President George H. W. Bush. In recent years\, Siegfried has undertaken extensive archival research at Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village in Maine. This research has led to multiple collaborations with Brother Arnold Hadd\, who carries on the 250-year oral tradition of Shaker song. Collaborations have included concert performances at Sabbathday Lake\, a film for the American Folklife Center entitled “Shaker Spirituals in Maine\,” and the recording of two oral histories for the Library of Congress. In 2024\, Siegfried presented a “Community Sing” at the Library of Congress in acknowledgement of the 250th anniversary of the Shakers in North America. Since 2014\, he has served as composer-in-residence with the Capitol Hill Chorale in Washington\, DC. He teaches at The Boston Conservatory at Berklee.
