Award winning teacher and visionary artistic director, Martha Banghart joins us from her music studio to describe her decades-long devotion to music education and the power of the choral arts. Through stories, photographs, playbills and recordings, Marty will share memories from her thirty-seven years in the classroom, establishing Harford County’s guitar program and producing North Harford High School’s celebrated musical revues.
She will discuss the choral artistry and community service mission of the Deer Creek Chorale, the intergenerational choir she founded in 2007, which has grown to include over 80 members from the greater Baltimore area. From choral performances in Beijing to conducting in Carnegie Hall, Marty’s musical adventures and humanitarian efforts span the globe. Come listen and enjoy.

Genealogist, Mary Schweers will be our guest speaker for the Society’s November Genealogy presentation. Her subject will be Follow the Trails, a fascinating journey that will help find those ancestors who could not stay in one place. Early settlers and even recent ancestors tended to spread out. Some took the more familiar roots like the Oregon Trail, but many took lesser known trails. Learn how to track these ancestors along their journey and find that elusive final destination.
