Curated and conducted by Rick Benjamin, Meet Me at the Fair! is a spectacular sonic celebration of the great American world’s fairs, including music from the 1876 Centennial Exhibition, the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, the 1901 Pan-American Exposition, and the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition. Music played a key role in the success of all these great international festivals, launching both hit songs and the illustrious careers of many famous American musicians. This new PRO recording brings to life the best of these pieces – many recorded here for the first time ever – in a lively and evocative program that will be treasured for years to come!
