Hundreds of flickering candles will create a serene ambiance, offering a magical, immersive escape for the evening. America’s rise to independence coincided with Europe’s own awakening in an age of revolution. Mozart was a practicing Freemason and defended the principles of equality and that music should be accessible for all people. Although he depended on aristocratic support, he was a staunch defender of the average citizen. His music took a turn from the Baroque era by featuring beautiful melodies with clean and less adorned lines. Johann Hummel was a student of Mozart and embraced the ideals of clarity, structure, elegant melodies and individual expression. We are pleased to bring these two beautiful works to historic Pilgrim Hall Museum.
