One of the greatest supporters of the Hammond-Harwood House Museum was the late Reverend Dick Libby who passed in 2020. Dick was passionate about his Scottish heritage and belonged to several Scottish societies including the St. Andrew’s Society of Washington D.C. Dick was an extraordinary person and served in a number of roles here at the museum including President of the Board of Trustees. We offer this Twelfth Night Concert: A Highland Holiday in his memory. 

Élan is in-residence at the Hammond-Harwood House Museum
