The Ferris Choral Fellows and the Boston Camerata will present "Free America: Early Songs of Resistance and Rebellion. The program explores, in a present moment when American ideals face such deep challenges, the vital, life-affirming sounds of the young Republic, as its citizens sang and played forth their love of freedom and their rejection of tyranny.

The rough-hewn sounds of New England citizen-composers still ring true and strong to our contemporary ears. And so do Liberty’s attendants — feminists, abolitionists, freed slaves, religious minorities and the insolent scallywags of “Yankee Doodle” — all remind us that in our musical roots lies our true strength.

These songs, both written and from oral traditions, offer an enlarged, intercultural perspective on the music played and sung in the early republic’s first century. They will include marches, anthems, spirituals, and ballads, restating our commitment to democracy.

Concert tickets are available through the [Boston Camerate Box Office](https://ci.ovationtix.com/36249/production/1276154?performanceId=11810164).
