GETTYSBURG 150 CONCERTS – COMMEMORATING THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG AND THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESSDate: June 6, 2012 Views: 1596 Location: District of Columbia, USA
The Battle of Gettysburg and Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address represent two of the most significant milestones in American history. One changed the course of America’s bloodiest conflict – when the fighting ended, the brutal three-day battle left behind more than 51,000 killed, wounded, captured, or missing – the other encapsulated the significance of American democracy and paved the way for reconciliation and healing.
Music Celebrations International (MCI) is an exclusive licensee with Gettysburg 150. The aim of Gettysburg 150 and MCI is to invite performance ensembles from every corner of the United States to participate in ceremonies marking this important anniversary, and to conduct commemorative performances in Gettysburg – where so many Americans were injured and lost their lives, and where Lincoln’s immortal words became forever enshrined in the annals of history.
