"JAPANESE AMERICAN INFLUENCE IN _Appalachian Spring_" Marta Robertson, PhD, Professor of Music GETTYSBURG COLLEGE ABOUT THIS EVENT Professor Marta Robertson looks at the iconic ballet _Appalachian Spring_ (1944) through the lens of Japanese American influences on the initial production, especially via the dancing of Yuriko [Kikuchi] and set design of Isamu Noguchi. Having been detained in incarceration camps, Yuriko and Noguchi offer political and cultural perspectives on the frontier and Americana varying from those of choreographer Martha Graham and composer Aaron Copland. _These lectures are presented as part of the ongoing American Musicological Society lecture series at the Library of Congress._ ------------------------- _Additional Ticketing Information_ No ticket is needed to attend this event.
