In 1893 in NYC, the legendary Czech
composer Antonín Dvořák spoke of the influence of Native American and
African American music on his Symfonie. He urged American composers to
focus attention on what "must" be the foundation for "the future music
of this country." Composers Concordance presents a program entitled
'Legends,' recalling the timeless melodies of Dvořák himself, and
highlighting the influence of Native American and African American music
on contemporary orchestral composition.
