PLYMOUTH — The music that comforted and sustained America's families at home – and its troops abroad – during the war years will come to life at 3 p.m. Sunday at the President Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site.
Pianist Abigail Charbeneau and soprano Ellen Nordstrom Baer will perform "Songs from the Home Front: A Tribute to America During the Two World Wars," in the Union Christian Church. The program includes songs by Irving Berlin, Rogers & Hammerstein, Jule Styne and other musical masters of the early 20th century.
An afternoon tea follows at the site's restaurant, The Wilder House.
