 Students
will debut original work titled, “Grey Tin Country,” based on the
1920’s resolution by the Lincoln Town Counsel to ban the performance
and teaching of jazz because of the music’s perceived low moral
value.
Guided and produced by Lead Faculty of Music, Dr. Denise La Grassa,
the film is the latest work of Lincoln College Music students. The
original story and music assumes postulates that music was outlawed
and the townspeople subsequently built a wall around Lincoln to keep
music out, renaming the fictional city, “Grey Tin Country.”
The story imagines how Lincoln, now named “Grey Tin Country,” would
have evolved during this scenario, including how residents react to
hearing outside music for the first time in their lives.
