The Cornets and Cannon Sesquicentennial Music Festival brought together musicians, scholars and Civil War music enthusiasts. The purpose of the festival was to share both knowledge and entertainment.

Now, here on this website you can get an overview of the Festival weekend. You can also order DVD’s of the lectures and performances and enjoy photos and video clips of the performances, the parade and the ball..

We have kept the event schedule for your reference - if you attended the event and are looking for information concerning a specific performer at a specific venue - you can refer back to the schedule or the biographical information on the Participants page.

Special thanks to the sponsors of the event who made it all possible.
