SUMMARY:Keys Across America with Mackenzie Melemed
DESCRIPTION:Keys Across America explores the rich diversity of American piano music\, from the lyricism of Amy Beach and Edward MacDowell to the bold voices of Florence Price\, Aaron Copland\, Ned Rorem\, and Louis Moreau Gottschalk. \nAt the heart of the recital is a tribute to composers of the Second New England School—Amy Beach\, Edward MacDowell\, and Arthur Foote—whose music helped shape a distinctly American musical identity. As a Worcester County native\, it is especially meaningful to celebrate New England’s enduring contribution to our nation’s musical heritage. The program also features two recently commissioned works by Laura Kaminsky and Avner Dorman. \nThroughout the performance\, Melemed will share brief commentary from the stage\, offering historical context and stories behind the music to create an engaging concert experience in his signature style. Launched in 2025\, Keys Across America continues through the 2027–28 season\, and will reach more than 50 cities in over 30 states. \nA portion of ticket proceeds will go towards Many Voices: Mechanics Hall Youth Singers \nDoors Open at 6:30pm \nAll Ages
