Dinner and concert
December 29, 2023
Charlottesville


Three Notch'd Road will be featured in a dinner concert Friday, December 29th at the Greencroft Club in Charlottesville.

The program explores our American heritage in unique musical sounds as they would have been heard from the late-17th to the mid-19th centuries. Over this long sweep of time, much changed and much stayed the same. Lilting Irish tunes, haunting Scottish melodies, and the great tradition of English hymnody combine and highlight the unique open harmonies of early American music. Our internationally reviewed album release Shining Shore (2022) is here arranged with Christmas selections added, featuring voices accompanied by harp and violin.

Fiona Hughes, baroque violin
Benjamin Geier, tenor
Christa Patton, harp and recorders


$100 per person (excludes tax & gratuity)
