Religious Notes December 22, 2010 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • Page 23 Colonial Balladeers Ridley and Anne Enslow recently presented a Colonial Christmas Concert at the c. 1798 Ramapo Reformed Church in Mahwah, in honor of the 225th anniversary of the founding of the church in 1785. The event was co-hosted by the Mahwah Museum Society. The Enslows, dressed in costumes of the 1770s, sang and played a 1776 fiddle and a hammered dulcimer (a 100-string wood Ramapo Reformed Church marks 225th anniversary instrument struck with small wood hammers), transporting listeners to the early days of our republic. Their selection of music and thoroughly researched comments provide a fascinating lesson in both music and history. The couple has performed to wide acclaim throughout New Jersey at historical houses, churches, national parks, reenactments, fairs, festivals, and corporate events. Ridley and Anne Enslow with Rev. William Grob, pastor of Ramapo Reformed Church. Ridley Enslow has been playing colonial American music on the violin for more than 20 years.
