Jazzing up the "American" Style

By Shay Zeller on Friday, October 28, 2005.

American artists and composers finally came into their own in the early 20th century. Before that, they mostly took inspiration from their colleagues in Europe.

We'll look at how that had an impact on classical music and paintings of the time. Our guests are Sharon Matt Atkins of The Currier Museum of Art. (she's co-curator of their new exhibition In the American Grain: Dove, Hartley, Marin, O'Keeffe, and Stieglitz) and Anthony Princiotti, Artistic Director for The New Hampshire Philharmonic. The group's opening concert next weekend will feature music of Ravel and Gershwin.
