Kwon performs new works from her “America/Beautiful” project. Each piece is a variation on “America the Beautiful,” commissioned by Kwon. The program features works commissioned by Kwon for herĀ “America/Beautiful” project, in which she asked a diverse group of over seventy American composers to write a variation on “America the Beautiful.” Kwon says, “My hope is to paint a sonic picture of my adopted country in all of its sprawling complexity, and ultimately try to find the beauty at the core of the American experiment.” Here is a list of composers on the program:
Qasim Naqvi, John Musto, Jessica Meyer, Charles Coleman , Sebastian Currier, Aaron Jay Kernis, Justin Dello Joio *, Melinda Wagner , David Sanford, Robert Sirota, Paul Moravec, Trevor Weston, Scott Ordway *, Wang Jie *, Victoria Bond
