- Independent Repertoire: American History and Politics
- The rich, complex, and often tumultuous history of American politics has been a key concern for many American composers. Their political engagement ranges from earnest celebration of national triumph to sobering investigations of the painful past. These works help us better understand our current realities through the sounds of our history.
- Resistance and Dissent
- Poetry and music have long been wielded as powerful tools for protest and dissent. Here, we explore a selection of pieces representing resistance to political and systemic oppression.
