The mainstay of the series is the music of Joseph Summer, with premieres of two dozen of his four score Oxford Songs; settings, primarily, of text by William Shakespeare. In addition to concert performances, The Shakespeare Concerts records Shakespearean music as well as the chamber music and operas of Joseph Summer.

The American Antiquarian Society (AAS) cultivates understanding of the American past, grounded in its ever-growing collection of printed and manuscript sources from the colonial period through 1876. Through wide-ranging programs, community engagement, and support for researchers and students of early American history, the Society works to cultivate a broad community of inquiry―locally and nationally.

Since its founding in 1812 by Revolutionary War patriot and printer Isaiah Thomas, AAS has assembled what is today the world’s largest and most accessible collection of books, pamphlets, broadsides, newspapers, periodicals, children’s literature, music, and graphic arts material printed before the twentieth century in what is now the United States. The library of over four million items also includes a substantial collection of secondary texts, bibliographies, digital resources, and reference works. AAS is also a learned society with more than 1,100 members, who are elected based on distinctive achievement in academic or public life. In 2013, the Society was the first independent research library to be awarded the National Humanities Medal and was cited for “safeguarding the American story.”

The American Antiquarian Society is located at 185 Salisbury Street in Worcester, MA. The library is open Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Tuesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To learn more, visit americanantiquarian.org.
