Jubilee! tells the story of Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore, who grew up in rural
Ireland and went on to become a distinguished American band leader. After
fighting in the American Civil War Gilmore was inspired to create a concert of
unprecedented size to celebrate the war's end. His National Peace Jubilee
took place over five days in a specially built concert hall named the Temple of
Peace and included one thousand musicians, ten thousand singers, anvils, church
bells and more! Despite skeptics who thought that a concert of this size would
never be possible, Gilmore persevered to create the loudest and boldest celebration
of peace that America had ever seen.Book, 40 pages.
