The Anchorage Festival of Music will honor the centennial of our city’s first full-length classical concert, which took place on April 11, 1921— just five months after Anchorage was incorporated. Join the AFM as we recreate A Longfellow Evening on its 100th anniversary on Sunday, April 11, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. In this virtual concert, you will see and hear the complete musical program and celebrate the stories of the 31 performers who helped realize this significant achievement in Anchorage arts history.
You might even recognize some of their names! Be sure to check here for updates and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram in the coming months for more information about this exciting event.
