ACMF Nature and Music: Appalachian Spring

This extra-special concert is a tour de force of what ACMF is all about: great music in community spaces with music that we love. Come and join us for a magical evening of music that takes nature as inspiration and is designed to transport the audience to a special time and place in each piece.

This year, we’re bringing you one of the most special works to the heart of our ACMF artists: Copland’s Appalachian Spring. When we performed this work in 2022, the tears of joy flowed from the players and the audience. This work, which quotes the Shaker tune “Simple Gifts,” is one of the most iconic works of American music and the American sound that Copland so brilliantly captured. There is something profound about experiencing this piece performed in the foothills of Appalachia- it is truly an experience not to be missed.

The concert will also feature Schoenberg’s Transfigured Night and Kenji Bunch’s String Circle.
