Raritan River Music Festival — Past & Present

Guitar duo Michael Newman and Laura Oltman founded Raritan River Music Festival 25 years ago. Since then, every May brings an eclectic mix of classical music to Hunterdon County. This year, to mark the Festival's anniversary and the 300th anniversary of Hunterdon County, the Festival is presenting a series of concerts featuring music from 1714, 1814, 1914, and 2014. The Newman & Oltman Guitar Duo will perform new 21st century compositions for the last concert on May 24. Chatham Baroque played the first concert in the historic Prallsville Mills in Stockton, NJ. Producer Susan Wallner was there, and brings you some music popular during the time of the colonies in this special podcast.
