Harmonies by Candlelight – Musick’s Recreation

August 26, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm

All proceeds go to “Fix Wicks” * Dinner & a Show * Wicks House like you’ve Never Seen it Before!

Musick’s Recreation
Historic homes like the Wicks House help us imagine what homelife for some people in early Massachusetts might have looked like, but what might it have sounded like? Find out at a performance of historical music ensemble Lyracle’s program, Musick’s Recreation. In this program, Lyracle focuses on a few documented viol players in colonial MA as well as viol players who were left out of historical records. Lyracle connects what can be inferred about their varied musical experiences to English repertoire that was likely present in 17th and early 18th century MA. Experience the music of beloved composers like Henry Purcell and his lesser-known contemporaries recontextualized, and help celebrate all kinds of local historic music-making: the silly, the serious, and everything in between! 

JOIN OUR ONCE IN A LIFETIME EVENT

Experience timeless charm at the historical Wicks House on August 26th with an exclusive candlelight concert. Enjoy historic music by Lyracle, indulge in a luxurious catered dinner, and support the “Fix the Wicks” campaign. Don’t miss this rare evening of history, music, and elegance.
