Strike Up the Band!: Music of the American Revolution
Step back in time at Race Street Pier with Strike Up the Band!, a live performance of Revolutionary-era wind band music.
During the American Revolution, Philadelphia’s streets were filled with music from American, British, German, and French military bands. This performance brings that history to life with a lively mix of marches, ceremonial music, and popular tunes of the 1700s.
Presented by Tempesta di Mare and curated by Dominic Giardino, this waterfront concert offers a unique way to experience the sounds of early America.
