Lessons from Mademoiselle - Boulanger's American Legacy

In Lessons from Mademoiselle, woodwind quintet WindSync spotlights music in the United States growing out of the 20th century, an era when European art music took on a distinctly American accent, and the remarkable teacher who guided the shift: Nadia Boulanger. The program debuts during the 100th anniversary of Boulanger’s Lectures on Modern Music, delivered in January 1925 at the Rice Institute in Houston, Texas. Music by Elliott Carter, Philip Glass, and Quincy Jones highlights the wide range of musicians who were drawn to study with Boulanger and the unique styles she supported.
