Sounds of America

Enjoy a presentation by Conductor Maciej Żółtowski focusing on three composers featured in the Fenimore Chamber Orchestra’s upcoming concert on October 6: Victor Herbert, Duke Ellington, and Morton Gould. Each representing one of the three main stages of the evolution of American music: European school, jazz club culture, and modern classical. Żółtowski will try to answer questions such as: “Do all musicians speak the same language?” and “How does music manage to bridge cultural differences?” The museum’s curatorial staff will give a brief introduction, making the connections to the museum’s collections, exhibitions, and concerts.
