Williamstown, 3 p.m.
Music from commonplace books, personal notebooks of indispensable knowledge. Hear it performed live!

Join us for an hour of ordinary people’s musical treasures found tucked between pages of 15th-17th century recipes, inspirational quotes, poems, and medicinal cures. Help us celebrate these powerful examples of music’s enduring ability to amplify the areas in which people find and make meaning: family care, spirituality, work, and play.
