Inside The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
Inside The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald will play on the Harmony House stage on select dates from May to July.
Fifty years ago this November, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank beneath the icy waters of Lake Superior, taking all 29 crew members with her. This tragic shipwreck was immortalized in song by the great Canadian songwriter Gordon Lightfoot.
In a Harmony House world premiere, Mike Ross, along with a band of extraordinary Island musicians and storytellers, will bring the story of this ill-fated ship to life. Through Lightfoot’s legendary music, Inside The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald will take audiences on a journey from the ship’s maiden voyage to its final, fateful day.
Created by Sarah Wilson and Mike Ross, this concert is 90 minutes with no intermission. Harmony House is wheelchair accessible.
