Beaches Fine Arts Series presents: American Dreams - Kalish/Walker Duo

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 as a people in our Semiquincentennial year. The Kalish/Walker Duo has performed together for the last 10 years at many venues including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Storm King Arts Center, New York Society for Ethical Culture, WNYC’s The Greene Space, Erie (PA) Cultural Council, and Dayton (OH) University’s Social Practice of Human Rights Conference. Admission is FREE. Doors open at 3:15PM. Reception to follow. For more information, visit beachesfinearts.org [https://beachesfinearts.org].
