Join the Tallahassee Bach Parley for We Hold These Tunes: Music from Thomas Jefferson’s Library, a fascinating journey into the personal music collection of one of America’s most passionate musical amateurs, Thomas Jefferson.
A dedicated violinist who practiced daily and filled Monticello with instruments and chamber music, Jefferson believed the arts were central to a life well lived. As our nation marks its 250th anniversary, Bach Parley’s season finale brings his musical world to life through the very music he played and cherished.
Featuring music by Thomas Arne, Arcangelo Corelli, Francesco Geminiani, and Johann Christian Bach, composers spanning the Baroque and early Classical eras and reflecting the musical influences that shaped Jefferson’s world.
Performed on period instruments by:
- Valerie Prebys & Martie Perry, baroque violin
