This July the Geneva Historical Society will host the second concert in a free series at Rose Hill Mansion. For three Sundays, the grounds will be alive with music and fun. Bring a picnic dinner and enjoy an evening of music to end a summer weekend in the Finger Lakes.
Genesee Ted will bring folk and bluegrass to the mansion on July 17. The group will play a mix of bluegrass, old-time music, blues, and folk along with some original tunes. Vocal harmonies will soar over mandolin, guitar, dulcimer, banjo and bass. Genesee Ted is based out of Syracuse and has performed all over Central New York.
The Golden Eagle String Band ends the series on Sunday, August 21 with a concert of folk and traditional American favorites. The concerts are free and open to the public.
The last regular tour of Rose Hill Mansion will run at 3:30 p.m. on concert days. There will be no house tours during the concerts. The Billsboro Winery tasting room on the property will be open during the performance, as will the Carriage House Gift Shop.
