Old American Songs (selections)



Miller's popular midday series returns! Discover great chamber works in an intimate, casual setting. This season the concerts spotlight four of the founding fathers of modern American music, with works for voice, strings, and piano.

In Copland's hands, two books of folk song arrangements become much more. In Old American Songs the composer re-imagines a variety of traditional tunes, from "Simple Gifts" to "The Little Horses." Wolfson sings selections from the original settings for solo voice and piano.

Lunchtime Concerts are supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
