The Jean Outland Chrysler Library Collection: in Concert this Sunday

Music of Quality and Taste: Selections from the Myers Music Collection

If you are a regular blog reader, you may remember us mentioning the Myers Family Music collection. This impressive library of over 900 pieces of music from the 18th and 19th centuries is a treasure of beautiful music tucked away in our collection. Some of these pieces are little known and rarely heard today. This Sunday, March 14, 2010 the Friends of Historic Houses present Music of Quality and Taste: Selections from the Myers Music Collection. The Virginia Chorale will perform choral and instrumental selections from the collection on  instruments like those the Myers would have used.  Don’t miss this rare opportunity to enter the musical world of the early 1800s in the comfort of the Museum’s Kaufman Theatre. The concert starts at 3 p.m. It’s free for Friends of the Historic Houses, $5 for Museum Members, $10 for all others. For ticket information, please call (757) 333-1087.


We hope to see you there!
