Night Music

Revolutionary Chamber Music in Philadelphia

Support Night Music's production of Thomas Arne's "Alfred"

In 1757, Philadelphia hosted one of the earliest large-scale musical dramas in the American colonies: Alfred: A Masque, featuring Thomas Augustine Arne's famous tune “Rule, Britannia!” The production was a bold expression of British patriotism at a pivotal moment during the French & Indian War, reflecting a growing sense of colonial identity that would reshape history. Night Music reimagines this remarkable event, when music, politics, and identity intertwined on the eve of independence.
