Music Room at Rosen House
All Tickets: $25

From Caramoor's archives (and from a recent sale of her ruby necklace), we know Lucie Rosen had an impressive and varied jewelry collection, as unique as her clothing choices. Beth Carver Wees, Curator Emerita of the American Wing at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and co-author of Marcus & Company: Three Generations of New York Jewelers, will place Lucie's jewelry into historical context and speak about the well-known Manhattan jewelers of the Rosens' era.

Music Room
At the heart of the historic Rosen House, the Music Room is a soaring yet intimate space used for chamber music, recitals, American roots music and jazz performances, as well as lectures and Caramoor's popular Afternoon Teas. You’ll find yourself surrounded with Renaissance furniture, stained glass windows and architectural elements the Rosens collected and installed in this unique space. Only covered beverages are permitted inside during performances.
