Cypress String Quartet: Inspired by America
Saturday, January 19 7:30pm
adults $32 / students $5
What does it mean to be an American? Technology and tradition fuse together to create a glowing tribute to America’s rich culture. The Cypress String Quartet performs the breath-taking live score as an original multimedia film is projected on stage. The author-narrated film is based on Dr. Jacob Needleman’s best-selling book An American Soul, and is directed by Emmy Award winning Michael Schwartz. The film features beautifully restored newsreels, photographs and historical profiles that guide the audience through questions and feelings that could not be more relevant than today. Musical selections include Ives, Dvorak, Barber and a little-known piece written by Benjamin Franklin.
