Virginians Will Dance or Die!

About

Explore how some eighteenth-century Williamsburg citizens experienced the growing musical world around them and how that world changed with the approach of the American Revolution. This program is presented in conjunction with Chesterfield County’s 250th Revolutionary War Commission. Registration begins Feb. 22.

The Importance of Music in Pre-Revolutionary Williamsburg,” an adjunct history instructor at Rappahannock Community College, and the Education Supervisor at Henricus Historical Park.
