After a light buffet supper, Ms. Whitley-Bauguess and Mr. Baird will lead any and all revelers in some favorite country dances of the period. All dances will be accompanied by lively music played by Chatham Baroque, providing a festive atmosphere for dancers and observers alike. Originally marking the eve of the winter solstice, this pagan ritual was later transformed into a religious event by the Christian Church and now commemorates the twelfth and final night of Christmas festivities. William Shakespeare later secured Twelfth Night's universal fame by composing a play by the same name. Festivities will begin in the Chapel and continue next door in the Laughlin Music Center.
Free parking is available.
