Jari Villanueva is available for presentations of Civil War Bugle calls and Civil War field music.

The program which can range from 20 minutes to 1 hour is a perfect program for those wanting to know more about bugle calls of the Civil War, field music and the origin of the bugle call Taps. This interesting presentation gives the listeners a chance to learn about how the calls were used in the army during the Civil War and the rare opportunity to hear them performed on original Civil War bugles from his personal collection.

Kennedy’s funeral from The Smithsonian to Arlington, where it remains on display in the Visitor Center.
