Anchored in the conviviality of 18th-century Annapolis, this concert draws from the seasonal music, dance, and poetry performed in colonial homes during the Twelve Days of Christmas.
It opens the semi quincentennial year with spirited songs that reflect both elite and popular customs of winter revelry in the early Republic. Fireside Revelry captures the rich tradition of colonial Twelfth Night merriment with music and poetry that blend elegance and playfulness. This candlelit concert recreates the warmth and mischief of 18th-century salon culture, featuring English catches, Scottish airs, and American parlor songs perfect for a winter evening in Annapolis’s most storied home.
The program features soprano Elissa Edwards, Artist-in-residence at the Hammond-Harwood House Museum alongside guest artists.
Concert supported by Nancy L. Harrison
