Weekend Outlook: Historic Venues & Classical Music

Nile Scott

You can plan yourself a busy few days around the Cape this weekend. Here's your Weekend Outlook.

 

With Patriots Day weekend and school vacation week, there is a lot of activity on Cape Cod, including seasonal openings for three popular venues. One museum starts off with a somewhat ghoulish theme at the Edward Gorey House.

Auto-racing fans might find a lot to like in Sandwich at Heritage Museum and Gardens.

 

A third venue, this one at Highfield Hall and Gardens in Falmouth, starts the season with music. 

 

There are a variety of other music events happening this weekend, including the debut of a new chamber orchestra, the Cape Cod Chamber Orchestra in Harwichport.

 

And in other classical-music news, there’s a show sponsored by local libraries that will be going on the road to three different towns this weekend, the Cape Cod Classical Roadshow.
