ON THE CALENDAR
A Concert
Becoming American: The Musical Journey
Carlos Miguel Prieto, conductor
Wednesday, January 25, 2012 St. Louis Cathedral 7:30 p.m.
Becoming American: The Musical Journey is the sixth concert in the Musical Louisiana: America’s Cultural Heritage series. Presented annually by The Historic New Orleans Collection and the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, the series is dedicated to the study of Louisiana’s contributions to the world of classical music. The musical tastes of New Orleans—a city well known for introducing French and Italian opera to the United States—knew no geographic or stylistic boundaries. The city’s love of the musical palettes of English, French, German, Italian, Mexican, Portuguese, Slovakian, and Spanish composers contributed to the development of Americas music. The LPO’s Carlos Miguel Prieto will lead an exploration of New Orleans’s musical heritage with works by Beethoven (Germany), Bellini (Italy), Buck (America), Gretry (France), Martin y Soler (Spain), Mendelssohn (Germany), Rosas (Mexico), and New Orleans’s own Jelly Roll Morton.
