Long May You Run: Songs by Neil Young and Friends
Newton South High School Auditorium140 Brandeis Road, Newton Centre, MA
In addition to performing songs by legendary folk rock artist Neil Young, NFS sings well known and beloved songs by Crosby, Stills & Nash, John Fogerty and Buffalo Springfield, as well as a few song surprises. In recognition of Neil Young’s environmentalism and advocacy for small farmers, proceeds from this concert benefit the educational programs of the Newton Community Farm, whose mission is to teach and model sustainable agricultural and environmental practices in our community, on the historic Angino Farm.
The program: “Comes a Time,” “Don’t You Wish It Was True,” “For What It’s Worth,” “1, 2, 3, 4,” “Helplessly Hoping,” “Carry On,” “Two Trees,” “Old Man,” “Heart of Gold,” “Love Is a Rose,” “Teach Your Children,” “Sugar Mountain” and “Long May You Run.”
We’re a 65-person intergenerational chorus celebrating family, community and American (and sometimes Canadian) folk music. Tomorrow we reprise the program at the Newton Free Library’s Druker Auditorium for Newton’s Festival of the Arts, and the week after that we sing at Waban Village Day.
