"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea,” wrote Henry James in The Portrait of a Lady. Here is your chance to spend an a most agreeable hour with the First Lady of the New England Conservatory, our own Virginia Woodcock, wife of President Tony Woodcock.

At a time mutually agreeable, Virginia will host a very special tea party for up to six guests in her Cambridge home, A true English High Tea -- dare we hope for hand-cut cucumber and cress sandwiches? and perhaps a little cake? We place ourselves entirely in the hands of our gracious British hostess.
