The importance of philanthropy has never been greater. Please consider a gift to the School of Music to support our mission and ensure the future of music at UNCG.

This recital centers around an important reminder that America consists of far more than just the contiguous United States. You will hear music that embodies the familiar “Americana” style alongside works reflecting the landscapes and cultural narratives of Puerto Rico, the Muskogee (Creek) Nation, Harlem, and more. By weaving together these different stories, we hope to spark meaningful conversations about the richness and complexity of what being “American” truly encompasses.
