What's the music?

America/Beautiful is pianist Min Kwon's project — born during the pandemic — which commissioned variations on "America the Beautiful" from over 70 composers across the country, ranging in age from 21 to 96, and asking a single urgent question: What is America — is it beautiful, was it ever, or will it ever be? Selections will include New York Premieres by Samuel Adler, Stewart Copeland, Fred Hersch, Timo Andres, and others; each composer brings a radically different perspective on the American experience. Together, these variations form a powerful collection of stories as colorful and diverse as America’s people and landscapes. Images of American landscapes to accompany each variation by photographer Park Joon.

Performers include:
Min Kwon, piano
Timo Andres, piano
Claire Bourg, violin
Hsuan-Fong Chen, oboe
Chaihun Kim, piano
Jorges Tabarés, piano
Park Joon, photographer
