The Birth of American Classical Music: Dvořák, Gershwin & Copland
Thursday, Mar. 12, 2026 · 7 pm - 9 pm Longmont Museum 400 Quail Rd., Longmont, CO 80501
Featuring the Longmont Symphony Orchestra
Antonín Dvořák’s American Quartet (1893) inspired American composers to create music that reflected their own culture. George Gershwin’s “Lullaby” (1919) represents one of the earliest attempts, while Aaron Copland’s “Appalachian Spring” stands as a quintessential expression of the country’s simplicity and optimism (1944).
This program is part of our Thursday Nights @ the Museum series. Join us every Thursday from Jan. 22 until May 7 for concerts, films, and free talks in the Longmont Museum’s Stewart Auditorium.
