We live a single day at the 1876 Centennial Exposition through the experience of five characters traversing Fairmount Park—site of the expo and of our concert. America’s first world’s fair, the expo introduced the telephone, the typewriter, ketchup, and the beacon arm of the Statue of Liberty; we celebrate 150 years of this historic, iconic venue that brings neighborhoods together. 

History. Celebration. Innovation. Unfulfilled Legacy. 

A Hundred Years On is commissioned for The Crossing and the Philadelphia Orchestra by The Mann Center, Philadelphia, with major support provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, and additional support provided by America250 PA and Philadelphia Funder Collaborative for the Semiquincentennial.
