The JMPT Quartet will perform eclectic instrumental music from around the world at the Porter-Phelps-Huntington Museum’s “A Perfect Spot of Tea” on Saturday, August 7th. The quartet, which features Jane Lund on the accordion, Mike Ingram on guitar, Pam Bartlett on the violin, and Tom Ulrich on the bass, will play tangos from South America, polkas from Poland, ragtime from New Orleans, and Irish, Israeli and other old-time popular music. Lund and Ulrich have previously performed at the Porter-Phelps-Huntington Museum as members of Bandana. The two also played in the Jim Tuturice Trio.

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.
