Join us as we tell stories from across America through music, from Vieuxtemps's playful take on Yankee Doodle to John Harbison's portraits of six American painters, Duke Ellington's jazz standards reimagined for string quartet, and the haunting piano improvisations of Thomas "Blind Tom" Wiggins. The concert closes with Copland's Old American Songs, music that feels as wide open as the country itself.
