This season’s educational program explores the American musicians
whose free-thinking spirit changed the course of music and even the
way we listen today. Focusing on moments of innovation, the course
will highlight music by classical composers Aaron Copland, Samuel
Barber, Amy Beach, Leonard Bernstein, and William Grant Still; jazz
pioneers Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, and Ornette Coleman; and
freethinkers Edgar Varèse, John Cage, Terry Riley, Julius Eastman,
Pauline Oliveros, as well as younger composers living and working
today. Hear exclusive live performances by Festival artists and mingle
with your fellow music enthusiasts afterward over a glass of wine.
