Following the artistic trend of late 19th century American artists like Louis Comfort Tiffany, composers began creating uniquely American sounds in classical music that would reach the “common man” and lift the spirits of everyone who encountered this new music. Join us for this special kick-off to the 4th of July weekend as we celebrate the making of Aaron Copland’s American masterpiece
Appalachian Spring. Learn about Jonathon Kirk’s brilliant adaptation of this classical American anthem and then sit back for a performance by Picosa in the Drawing Room of the Nickerson Mansion.

TUPELO ⢠If a classical music fan were stranded in a remote part of the world with only two pieces of music to listen to, Steve Byess believes heâd know their selections.
Byessâ picks would be Ralph Vaughan Williamsâ âThe Lark Ascendingâ and Aaron Coplandâs âAppalachian Spring.â
âBoth of those pieces belong on the roster of desert island selections. If you were trapped on a desert island, what music would you like to hear,â said the North Mississippi Symphony Orchestra conductor. âBoth of those works are favorites of their listeners.â
A music fan doesnât have to be stuck on an ocean island Saturday to hear the Vaughan Williams and Copland pieces. They can be enjoyed from the comfort of home.
