Start
the Christmas season early with a free concert by the Renaissance and
Baroque choir Carmina following our Exciting
Embassy Row walking tour. After a walk past the houses on
Massachusetts Ave, we will take in a concert in the ballroom of the
grand Anderson House. Embassy Row is a place where the women ruled
and champagne flowed like water. From
around 1890 till the Great Depression Massachusetts Ave in was the place for
society, and while the men were of politicking, the women ruled and competed
for the honor of being the “hostess with the mostest.” Beneath the stately facades of Beaux Arts architecture
was an exciting world of pleasure, leisure, scandal, gossip and above all
competition.
