VIRTUAL Music and the Founding Fathers, with Dr. Robert Butts

What did the Founding Fathers listen to? Who played the violin, composed music, or even invented a musical instrument? Discover the surprising musical lives of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Patrick Henry, George Washington, and their contemporaries. From violin duets and elegant Parisian concerts to lively dances and revolutionary-era melodies, this fascinating program reveals a side of America's founders you probably never learned in history class.

This event is sponsored by The Friends of BTL.

Presenter: Dr. Butts, artistic director and conductor of the Baroque Orchestra of NJ, teaches at Montclair State University, The Casperan School of Graduate Studies at Drew University and for the NJ Council for the Humanities.
