Escape with the ethereal, other-worldly sound of the Glass Armonica, an invention of Ben Franklin! The instrument is paired with flute and strings in Mozart’s famous Adagio and Rondo alongside exotic gems by J.F. Reichardt, J.G. Naumann, and early American composers John Antes, Pierre Landrin Duport, and Samuel Holyoke. American ingenuity at its finest!

With Glass Armonica virtuoso Dennis James

Dennis James is a performing and recording musician with an international touring career as a concert organist, silent film score performer, composer, arranger, and a performer on rare instruments. He maintains a diverse repertoire, focused on specialties that utilize his unusual historical musical instrument collection. He was a Lecturer in Glass Music Studies at Rutgers University from 2011-2015 and has held numerous house-musician positions for U.S. and Canadian theatrical and educational organizations. As part of his specialization in performing on under-utilized historical instruments, James performs on the Theremin and the Cristal in addition to the Glass Armonica.
