Music to Match Our Mountains

Known for its historically informed concerts on baroque period instruments, Anchorage Festival of Music now applies this depth of research and attention to detail to mid-century modern! Re-live and “re-hear” Anchorage history as we recreate a chamber music program from the 1962 festival. Hear snippets of archival audio from the 1962 performance, and enjoy an eclectic mix of Haydn, Rossini, Carl Nielsen and others, performed live by Anchorage’s finest wind players. Concert goers are invited to dress, vibe, and party and like it’s June, 1962, when the Space Needle and Spider-Man were only days old, but the Cuban Missile Crises hadn’t yet shattered nerves. The evening will be capped by an elegant and authentic reception recalling a time when Jello and fondu transcended the savory and sweet divide.
