At the heart of the program is a belief in the power of diversity — musical, cultural, and personal — to enrich the classical tradition. These pieces reflect stories often overlooked: voices of women, immigrants, and composers bridging worlds between concert halls and popular stages. Together, they invite listeners to reconsider what “American music” means, revealing a tapestry that is as rich and resonant as the country itself.
