Educational Concert: Lighthouse Keeper

Arneis presents Lighthouse Keeper, a musical setting by Devlyn Case based upon the inspiring, true story of Abbie Burgess Grant (subject of the classic children’s book Keep the Lights Burning, Abbie) the teenager who heroically tended a lighthouse off the Maine coast during one of the greatest Noreasters of the nineteenth century, saving the lives of countless sailors.  The courage and determination of this young girl in the face of extraordinary adversity made her a cult hero in 19th-century America.
