A dash of Brahms, a pinch of gospel, a sprinkling of Christmas & Pearl Harbor
Jefferson Historical Society offers musical Christmas card

“I was very impressed at how well rounded Hannah is,” Kalil says. “She has a command of all the styles I play. She was also very easy to play with, perform with.”
Kalil said he originally planned to play the gospel numbers himself, but after hearing Hannah’s improvisation skills, Kalil invited her to join him on the songs.
“The gospel style I play in is blues oriented,” Kalil says. “I saw that we would have a lot to offer the audience by playing together.”
As one would expect from a historical society, the group has not overlooked the significance of the concert’s date, Pearl Harbor Day. Accordingly, a splash of red, white and blue will be added to this Christmas card by opening it with a performance of “God Bless America” as the color guard from the Marine Corps League Private Henry Kalinowski Detachment No. 782 opens the program.
The detachment’s namesake was a Marine from Ashtabula County who perished at the age of 21 along with 72 other Marines onboard the Arizona. He was Ashtabula County’s first World War II casualty.
Hamilton says the concert will wrap up the historical society’s public events for the year. On Saturday from 10 to 4 p.m., a holiday craft event will be offered for youngsters and adults in the society’s building next to Henderson Memorial Library.
As a gift to the community, the concert is free, but donations will be accepted. The concert starts at 3 p.m. and will be followed by a reception for the artists.
