As historian Lawrence Rowland says, “All American history actually begins in Beaufort,” so it is fitting that singer, director, and music coach Lenora Eve, a Pinckney descendant, and Beaufort History Museum President Kathryn Mixon, a great granddaughter of Niels Christensen, should collaborate to bring Broadway performers to Beaufort to sing our American music.
The program runs the gamut of uniquely American music, from spirituals to opera to boogie woogie, and includes selections from “Hamilton,” “Porgy and Bess,” “Ragtime,”and “1776,” and will be set against a backdrop of slides of Beaufort during the different eras depicted in the music.
There will be two performances on Saturday, June 24 – one at 2 p.m. and one at 7 p.m., at USCB Center for the Arts. Find out more and purchase tickets at www.beauforthistorymuseum.com – $35 for BHM members and $40 for non-members.
