The regal Palace of the royal governor comes to life as guest artists from the Historical Keyboard Society of North America offer an elegant evening of 18th-century music performed on historical keyboard instruments. The concert program features a repertoire familiar throughout the British Atlantic World and early United States.
Not appropriate for children ages six and under.
The Historical Keyboard Society of North America is a United States-based nonprofit organization comprised of members who love and promote early keyboard instruments and the music written for them. Formed in 2012 by the merger of the Midwestern Historical Keyboard Society (MHKS, est. 1984), and the Southeastern Historical Keyboard Society (SEHKS, est. 1980), its members include instrument builders, players, teachers, and scholars, as well as many who merely love the looks and sounds of these beautiful instruments.
Parking near the Historic Area is recommended. If you plan to park at the Colonial Williamsburg Visitor Center, please check the bus schedule.
