BSO Family Concert-Something Borrowed, Something True: What is American Music

Boston Symphony Orchestra

Symphony Hall, Boston, MA

Boston Symphony Orchestra
Thomas Wilkins, conductor

What is American music? Our national soundscape is rich in diversity: diversity of style, of language, and of cultural contexts. It is indeed this diversity that makes something "American." Together, we observe the beauty of unity as opposed to uniformity.
