How can music improve your life? For Nancy Geddy, learning to play the spinet gave her an education not afforded to many of her peers. In 1768, a secret admirer wrote into the Virginia Gazette dedicated to Geddy and praising her playing. Join the Governor's Musick ensemble as they perform selected composers' works mentioned in this mysterious poem and how learning a musical instrument gave Geddy a chance to advance in society.
