On Sunday, March 8, at 3 p.m., Polymnia will perform “American Quilt,” celebrating the music of the United States as our country turns 250 years old. Just like a quilt, this concert will feature a rich tapestry of backgrounds and styles that make our country unique, beginning with the African American spiritual and proceeding to the present day. Polymnia members will be joined on stage by the Melrose High School Honors Choir, led by Kimberly Piper. The concert promises to be a fun time for all ages. It will be held at Melrose Veterans Memorial Middle School (350 Lynn Fells Pkwy.). Doors open at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors, $15 for students and $5 for children under 12.
