What was musical entertainment like in George Washington’s day? Join us at the Cuba Library on Wednesday, July 8 at 1 pm for a program with Bells & Motley Olden Music to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary. Lively dance tunes, popular songs, meeting house anthems, and harvest ballads and choruses meet together here in a program that combines musical heritage and history. Sondra and John Bromka’s authentic historical instrumentation is exciting and diverse, including harp, hurdy gurdy, hammer dulcimer, French & English bagpipes, recorders, African banjo, Spanish guitar, and wire-strung cittern.

This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Arts Council for Wyoming County.
