AMERICAN VOICES: Lost and Found
An SC250 exhibition in celebration of American musical life and the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution
What did the early days of America sound like? This exhibition takes you there — to the parlors, concert halls, and open fields where music helped shape a young nation’s identity. Through rare historic instruments from our world-class collection, you’ll experience the songs, sounds, and stories present at the birth of the United States.
EVENTS
Sigal Music Museum is home to a wide range of events — exciting concerts in an intimate listening space with attentive audiences, engaging lectures on a broad range of music-related topics, and even a monthly proper British tea. Tickets sell out quickly. Reserve yours now.
BERENT PIANO 1775
The first piano commercially made and sold in what would become the United States is now 250 years old. It is once again a playable instrument and was recently featured in a vibrant anniversary concert. Thought lost for decades, see it now at Sigal Music Museum.
