Slide Show & Concert June 25, 2005

Join us for festive events celebrating the nomination of Forest Hills Cemetery to the National Register of Historic Places!

The celebration kicks off Saturday with a slide show and concert at 8 pm exploring Pere Lachaise. This famous French cemetery outside Paris was founded by Napoleon and was one of the primary inspirations for Forest Hills and the American rural cemetery movement. Photographer and historian Susan Wilson and the Riverview Chamber Players present a multimedia piece featuring live music by some of the famous musicians buried at Pere Lachaise: Chopin, Edith Piaf, Rossini and the Doors' Jim Morrison. The ensemble for this special event includes flute, two violins, viola, and cello. Reservations recommended: tickets@foresthillstrust.org or 617-524-3354.
