America, A Prophecy

Asbury United Methodist Church • 1809 Mississippi Blvd, Bettendorf, IA

During his three-year stay in New York, the Czech composer Antonin Dvorák prophesied that music of the recently emancipated African-Americans would serve as one source of a future repertoire of American concert music. We offer music of the African-Americans Harry Burleigh, Scott Joplin, and Pulitzer-Prize winner George Walker, together with Dvorák’s own F-minor Piano Trio. Please note that the venue of this concert has been changed from what was previously announced. The concert will take place at Asbury United Methodist Church in Bettendorf.
