Marine Band Concert: The Dream Hour
Sunday, April 8 at 2 p.m. - This Living History concert celebrates one of the longest running programs in radio history, NBC’s “The Dream Hour,” which began in 1922 and continued through the 1940s. The original program featuring the Marine Band was created for shut-ins, and musical selections were largely determined by patrons sending in requests. In celebration of its 220th anniversary, the Marine Band once again presents one of its popular live re-enactments of these famous broadcasts from the Golden Age of radio. The program features Robert Aubry Davis of WETA radio as guest moderator for this mix of music and memories from yesteryear. Free parking in lots 1B and Z. The performance is free and open to the public and will take place in Dekelboum Concert Hall at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center at the University of Maryland in College Park.
