The New Jersey Gay Men’s Chorus presents “1918: A Musical Time Capsule of Remembrance and Resistance from WWI America.” This concert celebrates the quiet power of music made popular a century ago from the voices of soldiers, peacemakers, workers, and suffragettes, featuring songs such as “Hail! Hail! the Gang’s All Here,” “Flanders Field,” “Armistice 1918,” “Let Me Call you Sweetheart,” and “Solidarity Forever.” The souls of the Armenian Genocide will also be honored with the Armenian folk song “Loosin Yelav.” The beautiful melodies will pay tribute to the brave Americans who served their country, as well as highlight the historical events at home and overseas that led to many progressive changes in WWI America.
The Historical Society of Princeton will present an Open Archive featuring WWI artifacts and documents from HSP’s vast collection. The Open Archive series presents historical material with minimal interpretation (no labels or glass boxes here!) and encourage visitors to make observations, ask questions, and be the historian themselves. HSP’s Curator of Collections and Research will be on hand to share information and answer any questions.
