John Philip Sousa was a master entertainer. Long before the days of radio, television, tapes, CDs, or MP3s, he was entertaining millions of people around the world with a particular style of music that marked his place in history as the “World's Greatest Bandmaster.”
What was it about the “March King's” music that attracted thousands of people? Sousa's concert style was designed for his audiences and featured music by many composers—from classical standards to the popular music of the day. Characterized by their fast pace, each performance had spirited encores that came many times during the concert, outstanding vocal and instrumental soloists, and a rousing finale of his most famous composition, The Stars and Stripes Forever.
Join Professor Jerry Robbins at 1:15 PM for a pre-show conversation about John Philip Sousa.
