250 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, this program responds to the question: what makes American music sound, or feel, American? First, there’s an immense sense of possibility, a vibrant optimism that underscores so much of American music. After all, it’s the land of opportunity. Then there’s the longing for an imagined utopia, a place of safety and belonging. 

American Dreams weaves together a wide array of American music that celebrates who we are and who we aspire to become. Emily Kalish on violin and Kyle Walker on piano. 

Concert presented by the Howland Chamber Music Circle, sponsored by the Town of East Fishkill. 

The Library is only open for the concert event – regular library services will not be available.
