EDITORS COMMENTS
Unleashing the Unconventional: WPA's Pre-Bach to Moderns Concert Series (1936-1941) This evocative poster advertises the Federal Music Project's (FMP) groundbreaking concert series, WPA's Pre-Bach to Moderns, which captivated audiences for eight consecutive Wednesday evenings. The image of a stylized grand piano, poised and ready, sets the stage for an extraordinary musical journey. During the 1930s, the Works Progress Administration (WPA), a New Deal program, recognized the importance of arts and culture in uplifting the spirits of the American public. The Federal Music Project, a division of the WPA, was established to provide employment opportunities for musicians and to make music accessible to the masses. The Pre-Bach to Moderns concert series showcased an eclectic mix of musical works, from the intricate compositions of the Baroque period to the avant-garde creations of contemporary musicians. This progressive approach to programming challenged the norms of the time and introduced audiences to a world of unfamiliar sounds. The series was free to the public, making it an inclusive and democratic experience. The poster's bold typography and striking design underscore the excitement and innovation that permeated these musical events. The concert series not only provided employment opportunities for musicians but also served as a platform for artistic exploration and experimentation. This poster is a testament to the transformative power of music and the role of the WPA in making it accessible to all. The Pre-Bach to Moderns concert series represents a unique moment in American cultural history, where the boundaries of musical tradition were pushed and new possibilities were embraced.
