Feathers: A Musical Exploration of Edgar Allan Poe at Free Library Of Philadelphia

FEATHERS: A Musical Menagerie Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe

The Raven was not the only one. These “birds” leave their feathers at the scene of the crime. Join us for A Musical Menagerie Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe. It’s a pre-Halloween concert of new and re-imagined music inspired by 19th Century Philadelphians, poet/writer Edgar Allan Poe and Black music master Francis Johnson. We’re talking about a crazy, pre-Ragtime, pre-Jazz trip to the carnival. Scary, tragic, joyous! Dress for the occasion. . .wear Black.
