by Rick Spencer and Dawn Indermuehle
January 26, 2027 | 6PM Reception, 6:30PM Performance
Description: Rick Spencer & Dawn Indermuehle will perform a program of songs that describe life on and around the sea, from the perspective of seafarers themselves. For generations, scholars and hobbyists recognized the value of the songs that were created and passed down by seafaring people. They collected these cultural artifacts and saved them in books, diaries, manuscripts and, later, recordings. This program is an entertaining and informative selection of these songs.
Featured Performer:
Dawn Indermuehle and Rick Spencer develop and present theme-based music and history programs, performing songs that give cultural insight into interesting times, places and events in American history. Rick and Dawn carefully craft their vocals and accompaniment to sound as true to a song’s era or style as possible. Their vast repertoire includes music from the colonial era to the present day. Rick and Dawn use these songs to illustrate the evolution of our nation’s culture and history in an informative and entertaining way.
Where: Lyman Allyn Art Museum, New London, CT
Schedule: Reception at 6:00 pm in Hendel Library, performance at 6:30 in Lehman Auditorium
