Kickoff to Summer Thursday evening series. Music in the American Wild is a collaboration of seven instrumentalists and eleven composers established to honor the 2016 centennial of the U.S. National Park Service. This Eastman School of Music-affiliated ensemble will premiere brand new works of classical music inspired by the grandeur and conservation of the American wilderness in several of our country’s celebrated parks, including Kentucky’s own Mammoth Cave National Park. Alongside these in-park performances, Music in the American Wild is bringing its new opus of American art music to historic sites and museums in cities neighboring each park, encouraging a new generation of audiences to connect with the preserved and protected places in their own communities through the power of music.
