Inaugural Concert of American Music

Washington Ethical Society
Washington, DC

This is not an "official" event, but the Obama Inauguration is as good an excuse as any for a concert of American music! As a classical musician, I love Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, but not ALL classical music was written by dead European white males! Come extend the inauguration celebration with a concert of diverse American music, including (Gasp!) living composers, women composers, black composers, and at least one gay composer (that we're aware of). The program covers the gamut from marches and ragtime to art songs and contemporary chamber music, and includes 3 world premieres, as well as the first American mandolin sonata and the first American mandolin concerto, both of which were written by black composers.
