When Nancy Geddy on the Spinet Plays
Hennage Auditorium in the Art Museum of Colonial Williamsburg
How can music improve your life? For Nancy Geddy, learning to play the spinet gave her an education not afforded to many of her peers. In 1768, a secret admirer wrote into the Virginia Gazette, dedicating a poem to Geddy and praising her playing. Join a member of the Governor’s Musick ensemble for performances of select composers’ works mentioned in this mysterious poem and explore how learning a musical instrument gave Geddy a chance to advance in society. CW Admission or Good Neighbor Pass needed to attend.
