Description

Nineteenth-century musician Francis Johnson, a free black Philadelphia native, lived at a fortunate confluence of musical traditions that abounded in the rich cultural life of post-Revolutionary War Philadelphia.

He composed and experimented with period music, directed nearly every military unit in the City, and was the first to write for the Kent bugle.
