Bach, Bagels, and Bob - Bringing New/Old Music to Life

Maestro Robert W. Butts welcomes special guests soprano Timothy Maureen Cole and Dr. Jude Pfister, author and Chief of Cultural Resources at Washington Headquarters, Morristown National Historical Park.

Excerpts from performances will be shown.
