"The Musical World of John Quincy Adams" with the Rosewood Chamber Ensemble

The concert embarks on a musical journey
through the life and times of our sixth President, noted diplomat,
theater and opera devotee, and flute player John Quincy Adams. Come hear
music from his travels in Paris, London, Berlin, and the United States,
including dances and popular music from his personal favorite operas, performed by the wonderful Rosewood Chamber Ensemble. A
unique treat is a performance of Adams’ personal flute music from his
student days at Harvard University. The concert is performed on period
flutes and guitar, including Barbara Hopkins’ original Asa Hopkins
flutes, made in Litchfield, CT circa 1830 and Judy's 19th century parlor
guitar.
