Sagamore Institute of the Adirondacks’ Free Summer Concert Series is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and the Charles R. Wood Foundation.
In 2026, our nation marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence — a moment that changed the course of history. While the American Revolution is often remembered for its battles, bold leaders, and pivotal debates, it was also a time of deep patriotism, courage, and music.
Join us for a lively and engaging program that brings the spirit of the Revolution to life through song. Featuring eight historic pieces from the era, this performance weaves music together with storytelling, offering brief historical context that highlights the people, passions, and principles that shaped a nation.
More than a history lesson, this is an invitation to experience the Revolution as it was felt — in taverns, in camps, and in the hearts of those who longed for liberty.
