The 37th Annual Cape May Music Festival - The Westminster Choir celebrates the college’s 100th anniversary with a program featuring distinguished alumni as conductor and organist and works from the rich history of choral music. Brahms, the height of the Romantic era, and Howells, the pinnacle of the English 20th-century Renaissance look back, while mystical minimalism is represented by its master Arvo Pärt in his iconic, Salve Regina. Finally, a virtuosic contemporary work from American composer Stacy Garrop based on the writings of Lydia Davis; an exploration of aging, told through the metaphor of decay and dissolution in a house besieged.

While Cape May, N.J. was remote and distant from the American Revolutionary War on land, it occupied a strategic location at the tip of the Cape. It was home to skilled pilots who knew the shoals of the ocean and bay, was already well involved in shipping trade, offered safe anchorage for ships on their way to and from Philadelphia, was already becoming known as a seashore resort, popular with Philadelphians, and could serve as a lookout on the activities of the British Navy, serving as Philadelphia’s early warning system. Learn about Cape May’s little-known naval role in the American War of Independence and the ingenuity of its citizens in battle on local waterways fighting to forge a new nation. capemaymac.org 10am-4pm daily
