Aaron Copland (1900-90) and George Gershwin (1898-1937) are perhaps the most iconically American of composers.
At 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 21, three faculty from the Department of Music in Arts & Sciences will join a string quartet from the St. Louis Symphony for the concluding concert of the 2012 American Arts Experience-St. Louis.
The free event, presented as part of the St. Louis Symphony’s Community Partnerships Program, will highlight works by Copland and Gershwin as well as by Antonín Dvorák (1841-1904) — who, at the end of the 19th century, played a prominent role in encouraging American composers.
