Not only is today Veteran’s Day, but next week is the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. There will be a tribute to both this afternoon at the Grass Valley Veteran’s Hall. Music in the Mountains presents ‘Let Freedom Ring’. Artistic Director Pete Nowlen says the music will be performed by the Camerata California Chamber Choir and the Vita Chamber Orchestra.
