Orchestra Hall
Who and what created the American sound? This concert sheds light on some of the lesser-known composers whose musical contributions led to the creation of a unique American flair. Alongside the well-known George Gershwin, great composers like Florence Price, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds were all quintessential in building what we now recognize as the American orchestral sound.
