The Festival’s second program, Strangers, features the music of composers who themselves immigrated to the United States, including Rebecca Clarke, Erich Korngold, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Igor Stravinsky, and Irving Berlin. In addition, the program will not only explore the work of composers who immigrated to the US from other countries, but also the songs of Florence Price who migrated to Chicago from Arkansas in 1927 as part of The Great Migration.
Also featured on this program are songs of the composer, pianist, and actor Robert Owens, who remained in Europe for much of his life after serving in the US army during World War II, completing his musical studies in Paris and eventually settling in Münich, Germany.
This performance is presented in a special partnership with the Richard H. Driehaus Museum.
