Music, as a common interest to the gentry of Williamsburg, tied the community together, enhancing the exchange of ideas on politics and new ideals of revolution. Visit the Governor’s Palace Ballroom to delight as members of the Governor’s Musick ensemble play or sing examples of popular domestic music with examples of the types of instruments owned and enjoyed by members of Williamsburg’s gentry while using vocal and instrumental performance practices of the time.
