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!
