Spotlighting graphically-striking sheet music covers published from 1849 through the 1930s, Singing the Golden State celebrates popular songs about California from the Gold Rush through the vaudeville era, a period when sheet music was an integral part of popular culture and a piano was considered essential for the middle-class parlor.
Developed by The Society of California Pioneers and toured by Exhibit Envoy, the exhibit is drawn from two exceptional archives: the Frederick Sherman Music Collection of the Society of California Pioneers and the private collection of James M. Keller, the exhibit’s curator.
