Patrick S. Gilmore Society
The Patrick S. Gilmore Society was founded in Boston, Massachusetts by Michael Cummings in 1968 or 1969. Dedicated to commemorating the accomplishments of P.S. Gilmore and encouraging community band music, the Society organized annual band concerts on Boston City Hall Plaza and the Charles River Esplanade. In 1992, on the centennial of P.S. Gilmore's death, the Society erected a monument at his gravesite in Calvary Cemetery in Queens, New York. Between 1993 and 2002, the Society hosted popular band concerts each summer on the Boston Esplanade, where community bands from throughout New England came to perform. The Society appears to have ceased activities as Cummings's health declined before his death in 2011.
