50th Anniversary Celebration of Dover, Delaware's Johnson Victrola Museum
¨ Jazz-themed programs to be presented July 14–16
(DOVER, Del.—July 10, 2017)—The Johnson Victrola Museum, located at 375 S. New St. in Dover, Del., will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a series of programs that will take place now through the end of 2017. The museum highlights the life and achievements of Dover’s native son, Eldridge Reeves Johnson, founder of The Victor Talking Machine Company. Through machines, trademarks, recordings, objects, paintings and advertisements, the museum showcases Johnson, his company and the development of the sound-recording industry. Constructed by the State of Delaware with an endowment provided by the Johnson family, it opened to the public on Dec. 14, 1967.
During July 2017, the museum, in partnership with the Dover Public Library and DonDel Productions, will feature six programs on the theme of jazz in honor of the 100th anniversary of the first commercially released jazz recording—Victor Records’ “Livery Stable Blues—Fox Trot” by the Original Dixieland ‘Jass’ Band. The three-day tribute to early jazz music will begin Friday, July 14 at both the Johnson Victrola Museum and the Dover Public Library with presentations, recorded music and films. At 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 15, the museum will host the DonDel Ensemble performing some of jazz music’s most memorable songs while the library will screen popular jazz films. On Sunday jazz films continue at the library.
