Ives Symphony No. 2

Apr25
7:30 PM
Ives
Friday, April 25, 2014

Who would write the first great American symphony? Enter Charles Ives, a successful insurance executive, musical maverick and wildly experimental composer. In the early twentieth century, who else could have included gospel hymns, tunes by Stephen Foster and barn-dance fiddles in a symphony?
