Eclectic in content and social in nature, The Revels Salon Series returned for its fifth season of music, lecture-discussions and performances highlighting favorite Revels artists or those keely involved with Revels both backstage and in our seasonal stage productions.

This year's presenters, five extraordinary artists, authors and musicians, all had one thing in common--each enjoyed a unique relationship with Revels founder, John Langstaff. We met them in the elegant setting of the Victorian era Commander's Mansion in Watertown, MA, enjoyed a pre-Salon reception at 7:30 pm with hearty appetizers and local wines provided by Turtle Creek winery and Sharpe Hill Vineyards. Presentations began at 8:00 pm, followed by more libations, sweets and conversation from 9:00 to 9:30.

Please join us next seasons for more of these informative and fun Revels Salons!
