The holiday season in 18th-century Williamsburg was a chance for friends and family to gather after a long year. Between a December 1768 poem dedicated to musician Nancy Geddy and the influx of British-imported works for Williamsburg citizens, it was an opportune time for everyone to make music together. Join members of the Governor’s Musick as they envision an 18th-century home filled with seasonal music to enjoy.
