Admission is free. The glass armonica, a 1760 invention of Benjamin Franklin, enjoyed popularity in the latter part of the 18th century but was virtually forgotten by 1820. Thanks to the instrument's reintroduction in its historical form by Colonial Williamsburg musician Dean Shostak, visitors to Williamsburg now enjoy the beautiful sounds of this glass instrument each December. Biedenharn Museum and Gardens is pleased to present this winter concert for the greater community. This project is supported by a grant from the Louisiana State Arts Council through the Louisiana Division of the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Admission is free.
