Have you ever wished you could see all the fascinating and curious objects and artifacts in the History Center collection? Take advantage of this opportunity to join Collections Manager Hilary Fleck for a tour behind the scenes in Collection Storage at the History Center. Space is limited so reserve a spot during one of the three rare tours.

Anyone can improvise over the four-chord progressions of the Romanesca pattern at the heart of the famous Greensleeves melody. In less than one hour, Adam Gilbert will have you playing or singing variations over Greensleeves in Renaissance and Baroque styles, from the simplest four-note melodies to florid scales, arpeggios, and fancy passages. It’s fun, exciting, and no one has yet been injured in the process. Bring your instrument or voice to join in the slightly scary but oh so exciting fun!
