Musicians of the Old Post Road – Upcoming Concerts

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.
