USA, Canada, South America, the Caribbean. All are part of the Americas. As we prepare for our summer tour of the Baltic nations, we’ll revel in music of our own hemisphere. Much of the music we’ll take with us on tour will be from American Masters – composers who continue to reshape our musical world. Join us as we celebrate the work of Alice Parker, Robert Shaw, Morten Lauridsen, Samuel Barber, Alberto Ginastera, Eric William Barnum, and more.
