Come celebrate the nation's birthday, help us wave the flag and pay our respects to our great country and its veterans. Our own Jean Finks sings with Bion Cantorum, a small choral group in Charlotte County. Featured this year is Mark Hayes' setting of the words to Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address."  A revolutionary war era hymn called "Chester" by William Billings is the earliest composition.  Newer songs include a setting of the Pledge of Allegiance created by Charles Osgood.  Favorites include "America" and "This is My Country", plus many more, including a portion of "The Testament of Freedom," set to the words of Thomas Jefferson by Randall Thompson. Performing with Bion will be local veterans and a color guard.  Through Jean's efforts, League members are entitled to reduced rate tickets.  Contact Jean at 941.626.1070 or email at jmfinks@gmail.com to reserve your seat.  You will have fun and be home in time for your family cookout.
