About Musicians of the Old Post Road
Musicians of the Old Post Road takes its name from its acclaimed concert series that brings period instrument performances of music of the 17th, 18th, and 19th Centuries to beautiful historic buildings along New England's fabled Old Post Road, the first thoroughfare to connect Boston and New York City in the late 17th Century.
Winner of the 1998 Noah Greenberg Award from the American Musicological Society, Musicians of the Old Post Road has also received programming awards from Chamber Music America and the US-Mexico Fund for Culture.
