Winner of the 1945 Pulitzer Prize for Music, Appalachian Spring is the quintessential American orchestral work, incorporating the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts and beautifully capturing the spirit and traditions of early America. Through composer Aaron Copland’s writings, our multimedia presentation will explore the creative process that led him and renowned choreographer Martha Graham to create the ultimate American ballet.
