Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Michael Chabon wrote: “America’s artists are the guardians of the spirit of questioning, of innovation, of reaching across the barriers that fence us off from our neighbors, from our allies and adversaries, from the six billion other people with whom we share this dark and dazzling world… Art increases the sense of our common humanity.” From the cowboy songs of the old West through the jazz and ragtime romps of the early 20th Century; from the breakthrough of America’s first acclaimed woman composer to the nostalgic tunes of transplanted cultures, we find a rich and diverse art reflective of the great American spirit of adventure, courage and humor!
