June 23, 2011 at 7:30 pm
Archangelo Corelli: Variations on LaFolia

Henry Purcell: Music for a While
The “little mountain” of Monticello was home to America’s founding father and
polymath genius, Thomas Jefferson and home to the largest collection of music in
the Western Hemisphere during Jefferson’s residence at this famed estate. As an
amateur violinist, Jefferson would have hosted many musical soirées at
Monticello, and in all likelihood, performed several of the works you will hear
on tonight’s concert.
