CLASSICAL AMERICANA
CLASSICAL AMERICANA
A series of Concerts with Conversation, presented in conjunction with Lara’s nationally syndicated radio program Classical Americana, heard on stations from LA’s KUSC to New York’s WQXR.
Who are the people, stories, sights and sounds that have built our unique American classical tradition? And where does it go from here?
Iconoclastic pianist Lara Downes, with special guests from across the spectrum of American music, takes you down the highways and byways of our past and present, with roadside discoveries and detours to the crossroads where musical traditions merge and transform.
