SIGHT AND SOUND

Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries our American musical identity paralleled the development of our painting tradition. Sight and sound weave together in celebration of our national culture.

MARCH 10 - THE COMMON MAN: AN ERA OF CONFIDENCE

The painting George Caleb Bingham and William Sydney Mount parallel the music of Stephen Foster as American culture develops a distinct identity.

APRIL 14 - THE TRIUMPH OF THE VULGAR
