Kids Gundalow Program at NPL
This September, the only gundalow in the world is coming to the Merrimack River for a week of programs! Join us for this informative program for kids about the history of the gundalow in advance of the boat's arrival. Educators from Portsmouth's Gundalow Company will teach kids what a Gundalow is before leading them in a few nautical activities.

A gundalow is a shallow drafted type of cargo barge which was once common in the Merrimack River. Gundalows were the equivalent of today's tractor-trailer rigs, carrying freight of up to 50 tons between ocean-going schooners and the growing towns and industries along the river.

Newburyport Choral Society 2019 Free Summer Sing

Excerpts from Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass

This is a free and fun community choral event where you can sing along or just listen to selections from Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass, including professional soloists from the Boston area.

Join your voice with the Newburyport Choral Society or come, sit back and simply “enjoy the music” at an Open Summer Sing in the sanctuary of the beautiful Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Newburyport. This year we will be featuring some popular selections from one of Joseph Haydn’s most famous works, his Lord Nelson Mass!

All musical talent levels welcome! Our NCS Music Director, Dr. George Case, along with your fellow singers, will help you learn quickly. If you just come to listen, you will be inspired by the sound of the chorus around you, by arias sung by our professional soprano, alto, tenor and bass soloists, and by our superb piano accompanist, Dr. Kirsten Helgeland.

Dr. Case will also provide interesting background on the piece in general, and specific arias.

Open to all – Free Admission – Reception following

Copies of the music score for the Lord Nelson Mass will be available. Please bring your own score if you have one!
