Composer Antonin Dvořák came from Europe to America in the 1890s, where he met Native Americans and fell in love with their music. Tonight's program has music by both Dvořák and a Native American composer, Boyd Eagle, who happens to be Maestro Daniel Hege's grandfather! Come to a free, age-appropriate chat on cross-cultural musical mashups with Dr. Julia Grella O'Connell, the Philharmonic's Director of Education and Community Engagement. Do a music-inspired craft, learn a Bohemian folk dance, and hear the Philharmonic rehearse! Free for children 4-16 and their caregivers. Sponsored by IBM and FairGame for the Theater Arts.
