Dr. Eric Conway, Director, Morgan State University Choir, www.msuchoir.org, sends this news:
Hello all,
Allow me to announce another
exciting event for the Morgan State University Choir. On Monday, June
18, 2012, at 10:30 a.m., at Fort McHenry, Governor O'Malley will host a
special ceremony with representatives from the British and Canadian
governments, to mark the 200th anniversary of the United States
declaration of war starting the War of 1812. This ceremony will focus
on the two centuries of peace enjoyed by our nations. It is during this
battle, that the our national anthem was composed by Francis Scott Key.
Video prepared by Barack Obama and the Canadian head of state will be
broadcast live. The event will be streamed live on the internet as
well. At the request of the governor, the Morgan State University
Choir, will be the only American choral ensemble represented at this
very international ceremony. What an honor!
In
addition to the above event, on Saturday, June 16, 2012 at 6:30 p.m.,
the choir will sing for a special Flag day ceremony at Fort McHenry
where an estimated 5,000 people will be in attendance!
