Traditional Music at The Lyceum

In the 1840s and 50s, the Alexandria History Museum at The Lyceum, then known as “Lyceum Hall,” hosted lectures and debates. They also rented the hall for meetings, literary programs, patriotic exercises, scientific displays, and concerts. While many of the concerts featured local musicians, traveling singers and musicians including groups from Hungary, Austria, Spain, England, and Ireland also performed at Lyceum Hall. In keeping with that tradition, join us at The Lyceum for periodic traditional music concerts. Co-sponsored by the Office of Historic Alexandria and the North American Morris Dance Organization.
