Join the VMHC for the 2026 Hazel and Fulton Chauncey Lecture.

Perhaps no founding father is as mysterious as Thomas Jefferson. The author of the Declaration of Independence was both a gifted wordsmith and a bundle of nerves. His superior knowledge of the human heart is captured in the impassioned appeal he brought to the Declaration. But as a champion of the common man who lived a life of privilege on a mountaintop plantation of his own design, he has eluded biographers who have sought to make sense of his inner life. In Being Thomas Jefferson, acclaimed Jefferson scholar Andrew Burstein peels away layers of obfuscation, taking us past the veneer of the animated letter-writer to describe a confused lover and a misguided humanist, too timid to embrace antislavery. Presenting a society that encouraged separation between public and private, appearance and essence, Burstein paints a dramatic picture of early American culture and brings us closer to Jefferson's life and thought than ever before.

Dr. Andrew Burstein recently retired as the Charles P. Manship Professor of History at Louisiana State University. He is the author and coauthor of several book, including Jefferson's Secrets: Death and Desire at Monticello, The Inner Jefferson: Portrait of a Grieving Optimist, Being Thomas Jefferson: An Intimate History, and several other books on early American politics and culture. He is the coauthor (with Nancy Isenberg) of Madison and Jefferson and The Problem of Democracy. Burstein’s writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Salon.com. He advised Ken Burns’s production Thomas Jefferson, and was featured on C-SPAN’s American Presidents Series and Booknotes, and numerous NPR programs.

Moving from intensity through hope to light-hearted charm, this concert embodies the resilience of the human spirit and the power of music to express the multitude of human emotion. Dedicated to a flute player killed in 1973 the Yom Kippur War, Leonard Bernstein’s Halil is a commentary on war, loss, and hop, and is ostensibly a concerto featuring our own principal flute, Lance Suzuki. Benjamin Britten’s Canticle II for mezzo and tenor recounts the story of Abraham and Isasac and the spirit of a savior angel with beautiful soul and healing musical moments. Dvořák’s American Quintet (for 2 violins, 2 violas, and cello) is a partner to his more well-known American Quartet. It encapsulates his extended time in the United States, embodying his longing for his homeland, his excitement for his adopted home, and the sounds of the people who welcomed him so fully.

Based out of the tri-state area (NY, NJ, PA), Obey Your Master is glued together by four Metallica juggernauts with one thing in mind; to bring the audience the most authentic face melting metallica tribute show as possible! OYM plays tracks from all albums; from the begining of time, to present day hits. This concert will have any fan (young or old) speechless! All extremely impressive musicians forming the most indistinguishable Metallica tribute band in the world!

We’re thrilled to celebrate our new partnership with King Family Vineyards with an evening of sparkling Baroque and Baroque-inspired chamber music—we’ll even have a harpsichord! The program opens with Jolivet’s playful Pastorales de Noël, for flute, bassoon, and harp, followed by the elegant and groundbreaking violin sonata by 17th century composer Isabella Leonarda. Werner’s whimsical Instrumental-Calender is a Vivaldi’s Four Seasons-inspired celebration of the calendar year, and we’ll present—of course—the month of July! Finally, we’re bringing back Bach, with the Brandenburg Concerto No. 6, last heard at Wintergreen in 2015! Wine will be available to purchase. New this year: Food truck onsite!
