Connecting Philadelphia's Music History with its Future as a Premier Music City
A PRESERVATION - EDUCATION - PROMOTION INITIATIVE
Cultural Preservation-Economic Development- Social Impact
The streets of Philadelphia are alive with melodies, rhythms, and harmonies that have shaped our city’s diverse cultural identity for centuries. The Semi-Quincentennial in 2026 presents an ideal opportunity to unite all Philadelphians in celebration of our collective identity through the universal language of music. This event will allow us to showcase our unity, history, and uniqueness on the international stage.
There is no single Philadelphia music genre, nor is there just one Philadelphia music story. The Legacy Project will enrich Philadelphia's reputation as a diverse, inclusive, and culturally significant World Heritage City. This initiative will support the music community while positively impacting the neighborhoods and residents where our musical heritage thrives and future legacies live.
Through the power of music, the Legacy Project connects Philadelphia's musical history to neighborhoods and links music and art organizations with city residents to create a mobile music experience.
A premier American music city begins with preserving Philadelphia's rich and diverse music history while promoting our vibrant music community. Our music tours help support this preservation work.
This initiative prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion, actively encouraging inquiries that will enhance the mission of the Philadelphia Music Heritage Council. Join us in making a meaningful impact!
The first project fostered for the 2026 Legacy Project, this exhibit was curated and presented by Philadelphia International Airport and celebrates PIR and The Sound of Philadelphia (TSOP).
This exhibit was extended and is located near Terminal A-East.
