Dr. Teed and his followers settled in Estero, Florida, where he formed a community that boasted an electric plant, a bakery, and arguably one of the most sophisticated orchestras in 19th century Florida. This tour and presentation will introduce the musical culture of the Koreshans, focusing on Dr. Cimarusti’s current research in reconstructing the hymns of this fascinating cult.
