Echoes of the Future Past: An Antique Concert on Pyne Street Reimagined
Show + Dinner
Folksongs! Brass band! Mozart! Fiddle and banjo! Local 18th century harmony singing! Community music and history with a dose of humor, and a meal afterwards to boot.
The ‘Antique Concerte on Pyne Street” announced on a crumpled 1873 playbill found during renovation of the Bombyx Center for Arts and Equity posed a sonic and historical mystery. What on earth WAS this?
Conveniently, such concerts are the subject of a PhD dissertation by Bombyx friend Tim Eriksen. Also conveniently, the music involved was great! And this thoroughly local variety of entertainment was ripe for reimagining by the Bombyx/“Pyne Street” community 150 years in the future.
