America/Beautiful
Min Kwon, piano
To mark the 250th anniversary of American independence, acclaimed pianist Min Kwon presents selections from America/Beautiful — an ambitious and deeply moving project that reimagines one of the nation’s most iconic melodies. Kwon commissioned more than 70 leading American composers, representing a broad spectrum of backgrounds and styles, to each write a variation on America the Beautiful. The result is a vibrant and multifaceted musical portrait of the country — sometimes joyful, sometimes contemplative, always expressive. With lyricism and sensitivity, Kwon brings these voices together in a performance that reflects both the diversity and unity of the American experience.
