Gilmore, P. S. (Patrick Sarsfield), 1829-1892
Patrick Sarsfield (P.S.) Gilmore was born in County Galway, Ireland, on December 25, 1829, and later became known as the "Father of the American Concert Band." Gilmore organized and staged two music festivals in Boston, Massachusetts: the National Peace Jubilee (1869) and the World's Peace Jubilee (1872). He conducted bands and integrated woodwinds into what had traditionally been brass bands. He led the New York Twenty-seventh Regiment Band for almost 20 years. Gilmore also authored several pieces of music and poems, including "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." Gilmore died unexpectedly in St. Louis, Missouri, on September 24, 1892.
Michael Cummings founded the Patrick S. Gilmore Society in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1969.
