America/Beautiful
Featuring Min Kwon, Pianist
Sunday, November 8, 3 PM (Doors 2 PM)
Tickets $45
America/Beautiful is a project by pianist and arts advocate Min Kwon, in which she has commissioned 76 of today’s leading composers to each compose a variation on “America the Beautiful”. Kwon’s hope is to paint a sonic picture of her adopted country in all of its sprawling complexity, and ultimately try to find the beauty at the core of the American experiment and its credo of e pluribus unum (out of many, one).
“Min Kwon’s America/Beautiful is a visionary project that speaks to the power of music to bring people together across differences. The project’s scale, imagination, and urgency are deeply human and profoundly of our time.”
– Michelle Witt, Executive & Artistic Director, Meany Center for the Arts
