Brevard Music Center is proud to present Joseph Horowitz’s groundbreaking Dvorák in America Festival. Horowitz, one of the most prominent and widely published writers on topics in American music, showcases the master composer in his travels and experiences with America at the end of the 19th century in a program that BMC Principal Guest Conductor JoAnn Falletta calls “illuminating, surprising and deeply moving…revealing work with deep literary roots and steeped in Dvorák's empathy for the cultural world of Native Americans and African-Americans."
