Celebrates the Music of Leroy Anderson

Hatch Memorial Shell, Charles River Esplanade
Boston, Massachusetts

Under the baton of Harvard Band Director Thomas G. Everett, the Harvard Summer Pops Band will present an all-Anderson concert on the shores of the Charles River. As part of the Centennial kick-off, this very special afternoon highlights one of Anderson's earliest and most important endeavors, as he played in The Harvard Band when he attended the university and returned in the early 1930's as its director. He composed and arranged numerous works especially for the band, and is forever linked to one of Harvard's oldest student-run institutions.

Leroy Anderson Celebration
April 26, 2008 and Special Centennial Celebrations Throughout 2008

The Swedish ancestral home of the Anderson family will celebrate one of its most famous sons throughout the 2008 centennial year. Although Leroy was born in the U.S., his father, Bror Anton Anderson, emigrated with his family from Ovarp near Kristianstad in Skane. Musicians and music lovers from the city were overwhelmed when they learned the Anderson family hailed from their region, and are working to create a variety of events dedicated to Leroy, including:

> The local historical society in Norra Stro will host exhibition of Leroy's life and work.

> Special events during the summer will be accompanied by a small orchestra playing Leroy's music.

> A Celebratory all-Anderson concert at the Kristianstad indoor sports arena on Saturday, April 26, 2008.

> Bror Anderson's birthplace will be open to visitors.

> Annual Christmas concert in the Holy Trinity Church will feature Anderson material.

> In mid June there will be an international music festival, including orchestras from Russia and other countries.

> Every Thursday evening in August there will be music at the riverside park.

> Third Sunday in August is the Sweden-America Day in Önnestad, just outside Kristianstad.

> Fourth weekend of August a local theater company will give a musical event including the Anderson family emigration story, emigrant songs, dancers in costumes and L.A. music

> Additional events TBA.

Leroy Anderson celebration plans are not yet complete. Please revisit this page for current information.
