What defines the sound of American music? Under the visionary leadership of Artistic Director **Rachael** **Worby**, **MUSE/IQUE** explores that question in an immersive concert experience that blends live music with storytelling and cultural context. Tracing the lineage from **Aaron** **Copland**’s groundbreaking vision to the artists who followed, this program celebrates an unmistakably American sound — open, optimistic, and rooted in folk tradition. From Copland’s _Simple Gifts_ to **Paul** **Simon**’s _American Tune_, it reveals how the expansive musical language of one defining composer continues to resonate across generations. An uplifting journey through the sounds that define us. * * * **PERFORMANCES** Fri. Oct. 23, 2026 @ 7:30 PM Sat. Oct. 24, 2026 @ 2:00 PM Sat. Oct. 24, 2026 @ 7:30 PM Sun. Oct. 25, 2026 @ 2:00 PM
