ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - The Anchorage Festival of Music spent many months of the pandemic gathering musicians and creating a plan to revive “A Longfellow Evening,” the first classical music concert ever held in the city. It was performed on April 11, 1921, and now exactly 100 years later, the organization is bringing it back. Before reenacting the concert was an idea, learning and researching it was more of an obsession by Artistic Director Laura Koenig. She spent the last two years digging into the history of the music, the performers, and the place that Anchorage was a century ago.
