Dudley Laufman and the Canterbury Country Dance Orchestra to Conclude Music on the Green
On Sunday, August 25 at 4:00 p.m., Dudley Laufman and the Canterbury Country Dance Orchestra will perform the last concert in the 2024 Music on the Green series at Canterbury Shaker Village. Laufman is a renowned ‘dance caller’, and has prompted dancers at country and contra dances throughout New England for more than 70 years. He also plays melodeon, harmonica, and fiddle, sometimes while he is ‘calling’.
“This will be a lively end to this season’s Music on the Green series,” Village Education Manager Kyle Sandler said. “We are always honored to welcome back Dudley Laufman.” Dudley Laufman and the Canterbury Country Dance Orchestra concert will be held in The Village’s North Shop. Music on the Green concerts are free with a suggested donation of $20.
Music on the Green is sponsored by Coldwell Banker Lifestyles, New Hampshire Dance Collaborative (NHDC), and Kathleen Belko, Trustee. Events are rain or shine (except in extreme weather conditions). Village tours are available before Music on the Green performances, while visitors are encouraged to explore the extensive trail system on the Village’s nearly 700-acre property.
