Reimagining the War of 1812 - “Redcoats’ Revenge” with Col. David Fitz-Enz
What if, on September 11, 1814, the United States had lost the close-run battle that Winston Churchill called the “most decisive” of the War of 1812? With a victory at Plattsburgh, would the British have eventually been able to regain control of their former colonies? Redcoats’ Revenge brings the most successful field commander in history, the Duke of Wellington, to North America in 1814 and presents a montage of the personalities and battles, real and quite possible, of the War of 1812. With a clever and compelling premise, this exciting alternate history will enthrall readers and reveal just how close the US was to becoming a British colony once again.
Col. Fitz Enz was a regular army officer for 30 years. Among his combat decorations is the Soldiers Medal, the army’s highest award for life saving at extreme risk. His unit operated the Moscow Hot Line for 3 presidents. His literary awards include The Distinguished Book Prize from the Army Historical Foundation and the Military Order of Saint Louis from The Knights Templar for contributions to military literature.
This event will take place on January 22. Seating is limited so reservations are required. Please e-mail
Juilliard at Jay – A Minister in Spain
With a program that highlights the music that John Jay might have heard performed during his mission as minister to Spain (1779 – 1782), “Concitato” and the artists of Juilliard’s Historical Instruments Program, will electrify listeners with their insightful interpretations of rarely heard baroque masterpieces on period instruments.
Come hear Joan Plana (violin), Ezra Seltzer (violoncello), Jeffrey Grossman (harpsichord), Priscilla Smith (oboe and recorder) and Grant Herreid (guitar & percussion) present exquisite arrangements and then discuss their craft with the audience in an intimate salon setting. Taking its name from the Italian concitare (“to incite or provoke”), Concitato combines the latest discoveries in musicological research with cutting-edge training. “...technically adept and expressive performances....gracefully wrought renditions of works” (The New York Times)
This event will take place on January 29. General Admission Tickets are $25 per person; $20 for Students and Seniors.
