A PERFECT SPOT OF TEA
Honest Harmony
performing historical music
July 10 at 2:30 and 3:30pm
Honest Harmony will perform popular a capella music from the 15th-19th centuries Saturday, July 10th at the Porter-Phelps-Huntington Museum’s “A Perfect Spot of Tea.”
The group, which has performed together on occasion for almost two decades, features soprano Barbara Mathews, alto Cindy Naughton, baritone Ijod Schroeder and tenor John Vance. Often comparing and contrasting songs of the same style, century or even composer, Honest Harmony performs songs from such diverse origins as the church and the publik house.
Throughout the performance, the Porter-Phelps-Huntington Museum invites guests to enjoy Earl Grey tea and pastries donated by local restaurants and grocery stores. The event honors Elizabeth Porter Phelps and her family’s 18th-century tradition of afternoon tea. In addition to tea and desserts, the house will offer tours on the half hour.
Admission for “A Perfect Spot of Tea” is $10 per guest with tea seatings at 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. Porter-Phelps-Huntington Museum is located at 130 River Drive (Route 47) in Hadley, two miles north of the junction between Routes 9 and 47. The museum is open for guided tours Saturday through Wednesday from 1:00-4:30 p.m. For further information, please contact the museum at (413) 584-4699 or visit the website at www.pphmuseum.org.
