American Genius: The Music of Immigrants
What makes an artist "American"? Is it where they were born or where their greatest work came to life?
This Labor Day weekend, the Sherman Chamber Ensemble explores that question through music by Leonard Bernstein, Igor Stravinsky, Béla Bartók, and Ernő Dohnányi.
Join us for an inspiring Labor Day weekend celebration of music that reminds us America's greatest strength has always been the talent, ideas, and dreams brought here from around the world.
