About this Event

Pre-concert talk with Dr. Daniel Boomhower 6:30pm

Copland’s iconic Appalachian Spring for 13 instruments — premiered at the Library of Congress in 1944 — projected hope and national unity during a difficult time. It shares a familiar Shaker folk tune with John Williams’s Air, composed for President Obama’s first inauguration. Experience the youthful exuberance of Mendelssohn’s string octet and explore the inventive musical language of Mary Howe, who left a mark on the musical life of mid-century DC.


Pre-concert talk by Dr. Daniel Boomhower, Director, Dumbarton Oaks Research Library
