Historic houses show us what colonial New England looked like—but what did it sound like?

Early music ensemble Lyracle explores that question in Musick’s Recreation, a program inspired by documented viol players in colonial New England as well as women and people of color omitted from historical records. Drawing from English repertoire heard in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, Lyracle brings music by Henry Purcell and his contemporaries into a new context, celebrating the full range of historic music-making: the silly, the serious, and everything in between.

Grab a pint of your favorite brew from our friends at the Shoreham Inn and join OCMF’s America 250 celebration in one of the region’s most iconic historic buildings.

Tickets are free but required due to limited venue capacity. This project is supported in part by a grant from Vermont Humanities in partnership with the Vermont 250th Commission.
