American Music Sampler: A 20th Century Perspective

Explore music of 20th century America: Composers Copland and Barber have a distinct American voice. Glass and Reich are so-called "minimalists" who changed the musical language. Torke and Dougherty bring an energetic electicism to American music."



Understanding Ives

Explore the life and music of composer Charles Ives. Considered an American original, many of his works went un-noticed. His chamber, choral and symphonic works, which were musically innovative, paved the way for his 20th century contemporaries.



Choral Masterworks

Carmina Burana is not the only beautiful choral work of the 20th Century! In addition to Orff's Carmina, explore Britten's War Requiem, Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms and other important works of our own age.



Performances each evening by Peabody artists and exceptional students. Free access to world-class Walters Art Museum across the street.



Program in association with Peabody Institute of The Johns Hopkins University, providing musical training since 1857.
