Free Concert To Be Held April 28 At Washington Crossing Park

The Practitioners of Musick will return to Washington Crossing Historic Park for a free performance on Saturday, April 28 at 7 p.m. in the park’s Visitor Center auditorium.

Founded in 1999, the Practitioners of Musick survey the music of 17th- and 18th-century Great Britain, Ireland and America. Their performance will feature music based upon the surviving inventory of printed music owned by various members of the Washington/Custis family and music that was popular among 18th-century Virginia playhouses and concert rooms. Also performing that night will be the Germantown Country Dancers.

The Practitioners of Musick features John Burkhalter on recorder and Donovan Klotzbeacher on harpsichord. The duo has performed at numerous historic sites as well as libraries, museums and universities throughout the East Coast.
