Longwood Gardens, Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, announces publication of a new book, Garden of Music: Musical Instruments & Performing Arts at Longwood Gardens ($38), by Colvin Randall with Jonathan Ambrosino.
The book examines the history and legacies of the musicians, performers, staff, and instruments that have been a part of the performing arts at Longwood Gardens. The instruments include not only the 10,010-pipe, four-manual Aeolian organ, but also a 62-bell carillon by Eijsbouts and a Steinway grand piano. At 320 pages with more than 900 illustrations, the volume traces the performing arts at the estate from the days of the du Pont family to the present.
