Early American Musicians and Educators David and Ginger Hildebrand in Concert March 10
WHAT TO EXPECT
David and Ginger Hildebrand are professional performers, educators, and recording artists. They specialize in researching and educating about early American music, having co-founded, and for more than 20 years administered, the Colonial Music Institute at Mount Vernon, Virginia.
During their St. Andrew’s performance, the Hildebrands will perform early American music on period instruments and don period attire. During this interactive concert, they will also explain and demonstrate their instruments, including the harpsichord, hammered dulcimer, violin, and Spanish and English guitars — interpreting various musical traditions, featuring both the formal and less refined aspects of music in early America. Stay after the concert for a free post-concert reception where you can mingle with friends and meet the artists.
