SUMMARY:Summer Concert Series: Debra Cowan & Cate Clifford\, Songs That Touch the Past
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an outdoor concert featuring music from Debra Cowan and Cate Clifford as they present Songs that Touch the Past! \nAs always\, we are open at 5pm to enjoy the museum and vendors. Music will run from 6pm-7:30pm. \nAbout the Artists \n“Stunning” is the word often used to describe Debra Cowan’s vocals. She performs unaccompanied or with guitar\, interpreting a wide range of traditional and contemporary songs. She is a full-time performer who bridges the old and new with a refreshing stage presence and has released six recordings\, all having earned praise on both sides of the Atlantic. She tours in the United Kingdom and in North America and can often be seen on stage with her good friend\, singer and musician John Roberts. Debra is a proud member of American Federation of Musicians Local 1000 and endorses Harvey Leach guitars. \nCate Clifford is a typically unaccompanied singer based in Rhode Island whose voice has raised rafters and cracked hearts in homes\, venues\, recording studios\, and festivals throughout the country. With powerful vocals\, sensitive harmonies\, and engaging context gleaned from intensive apprenticeship in the singing traditions that move her most\, Cate creates a vivid and accessible pathway to the songs she offers\, the people and stories behind them\, and the profound\, timeless delight of sharing both.  She maintains that no set is immune to a dash of Sondheim or a sprinkle of Shakespeare. \nWe are pleased to welcome Debra and Cate to the summer concert series as alumni of the 2020-2021 Southern New England Apprenticeship Program! In Songs that Touch the Past\, they’ll be sharing some great traditional story songs along with favorites from their repertoires. There will also be songs for audiences to join in\, so come ready to sing along! \nThe concert series is generously supported by the Evelyn W. Preston Memorial Trust Fund\, Bank of America N.A.\, Trustee\, the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation\, the CT Cultural Fund\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the CT Office of the Arts/DECD. \nLearn more about our summer concert series here.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Mouth to Mouth - The Tooth Trade in Washington’s World
DESCRIPTION:In 1807\, dentist John Greenwood imported 4\,300 human teeth for 432 pieces of silver from a French Surgeon dentist. Greenwood constantly sought teeth to fill the increasing demand for dentures\, bridges\, and live tooth transplants\, including crafting several sets of dentures for George Washington. Greenwood was not alone in this need as eighteenth and early nineteenth-century dentists frequently advertised to purchase human teeth\, including Connecticut-based dentist Richard Skinner. Throughout the eighteenth century\, the discourses around teeth dramatically shifted as new systems of meanings developed as white\, straight\, and complete teeth became associated with virtue and American republicanism. \nIn this virtual presentation\, Lucy Smith\, New England Regional Fellowship Consortium grantee\, will examine how this ideological shift fueled a tooth trade that traces the movement of early dentists throughout Connecticut\, across the ocean\, and at the intimate level of teeth moving from one mouth to another. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Click here to register. \nQuestions? Contact Public Programs and Special Events Coordinator\, Jen Busa via email at jbusa@connecticutmuseum.org.
