To End All Wars: Music of World War One
The folk and popular songs of World War One were patriotic and inspiring. Some were filled with pathos, describing tragedy, loss, and the fears and hopes of those who were affected. In his fascinating program, “To End All Wars: Music of World War One,” Rick Spencer performs both well-known and obscure songs of the period along with a discussion of the issues, events, and personalities of the First World War. Rick Spencer is known internationally for his work as a historian, researcher, singer, songwriter and performer of music in the American folk tradition. He sings and accompanies himself on a variety of instruments including guitar, banjo, concertina, mandolin, dulcimer, button accordion and others. Ossie Davis Theater. Suggested Donation: $2.00
