The Greater Philadelphia Area
Jack McCarthy presented “An illustrated lecture on Philadelphia music history, featuring archival images and audio recordings” to the Roxborough Manayunk Wissahickon Historical Society.
Mr. McCarthy covered a chronology of music in the Philadelphia region. Of significance was the fact that the Ridge Hermits (Kelpius) performed the first known Philadelphia concert at the Old Swedes Church in 1701.
