Through composer Aaron Copland’s deviation from European classical music and his ability to fold in new genres, Copland uncovered a new American sound, one that celebrated the people. This movement gave birth to trailblazing artists - everyone from Leonard Bernstein to Paul Simon to Rhiannon Giddens, and beyond!

ABOUT AMERICAN SOUND TAKES FLIGHT
MUSE/IQUE Presents
American Sound Takes Flight
FROM AARON COPLAND TO PAUL SIMON - OUR MUSICAL PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
Presented in partnership with The Wallis and Classical California
Through composer Aaron Copland’s deviation from European classical music and his ability to fold in new genres, Copland uncovered a new American sound, one that celebrated the people.

From “Simple Gifts,” to “American Tune,” connect with the history behind the creation of our diverse and democratic American Sound. Featuring Liv Redpath, Brandon Victor Dixon, and the MUSE/IQUE Orchestra, led by Artistic & Music Director Rachael Worby.
