The Philadelphia Music Alliance
The Philadelphia Music Alliance is best known for establishing
and maintaining the Walk of Fame along the Avenue of the Arts, between
Walnut and Locust Streets. This series of 106 bronze commemorative plaques
honors Philadelphia area musicians and music professionals who have made
a significant contribution to the world of music. The Walk of Fame is
the City's most impressive public monument to the people who have made
Philadelphia one of the nation's oldest and most prolific music capitals.
The Philadelphia Music Alliance was founded in June 1986 as a community
based, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of Philadelphia
as one of the nation's oldest and most prolific music capitals. Established
by music executives and concerned citizens in order to recognize the vast
contribution of Philadelphia to all the musical genres, the Philadelphia
Music Alliance serves to encourage the creation, celebration and historical
preservation of Philadelphia music. For more information: www.philadelphiamusicalliance.com |
