The Wrap

Imagine a song written about one room and performed inside it. "Lovers of Liberty," a roughly 12-minute composition about the newly restored Ceremonial Courtroom at the Kenosha County Courthouse, returns for two free encore performances on Saturday, Nov. 7, at noon and 1 p.m. Ben Woods narrates as the music moves through the space. A neat way to hear a building's story.
