Join us for an inspiring afternoon of music that reflects the spirit, diversity, and rich cultural tapestry of America. In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, this program features works rooted in American identity and history – both homegrown and seen through the eyes of an admirer. The evening opens with William Grant Still’s Miniatures for Woodwind Quintet – a charming collection of folk-inspired vignettes drawn from various cultures across the Americas, followed by Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings, and concluding with Antonín Dvořák’s “American” String Quartet, a work infused with the rhythms and melodies of African American spirituals and Native American music.
PROGRAM
William Grant Still...................... Miniatures for Woodwind Quintet
Samuel Barber........................... String Quartet, Op. 11 - II. Molto Adagio (Adagio for Strings)
Antonin Dvorak.......................... String Quartet No. 5, in F Major (American)
