History in Town: Pop-Up Concert

For those visiting the historic downtown Harpers Ferry area on Tuesday, join us for a 20-minute informal pop-up concert event! Free and open to the public, no seating/RSVPs. Exact time and location TBD - more info will be available soon.

Echoing the somber refrain "John Brown's Body lies a-mouldering in the grave...", composer Ailbhe McDonagh's powerful string quartet, "Appalachian," was originally commissioned for ACMF's inaugural season in 2021. Its evocative final movement directly incorporates the iconic Civil War Union anthem. Experience this compelling 20-minute work in a unique pop-up performance presented in collaboration with the National Park Service, held outdoors at John Brown’s fort – the very site where John Brown made his defiant stand during the pivotal slave revolt that ignited the Civil War. This evocative event is free and open to all.
