The warming kitchen and bathrooms are also available with the grounds rental. Fees vary depending on the size of the group, the area desired, and the length of time of usage.

David & Ginger Hildebrand -- The Colonial Music Institute  

DAVID & GINGER HILDEBRAND are available for concerts in many venues throughout the country and abroad from their home and studio near Annapolis, Maryland. When onstage their music intertwines with stories and discussion to create a vivid sense of our cultural heritage. Concerts are intimate, even in large halls, and audience members frequently comment that they have felt as if they were in a colonial drawing room. It is always clear how much this couple enjoys what they do. THE COLONIAL MUSIC INSTITUTE conducts and promotes research and educational outreach in the fields of early American music and dance. Through its website the Institute offers information and resource materials for students and fellow scholars, as well as helpful publications and on-line databases for researchers and teachers. CMI's mission features primary research enlightened by interdisciplinary scholarship, disseminated through scholarly writing, authentic performances, and sound recordings made to the highest standards.
