Join us on April 22nd at 6:30 PM as Dr. John Edward Hasse, Curator Emeritus of Music at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History and author of several books on music speaks on why American music is so resoundingly popular and uniquely compelling to people all over the world. Held in the Giant Screen Theater.
Everywhere you go in the world, you hear American music. You can hear the twangy chords of country music in the hamlets of Ireland, the hypnotic beat of rock on the streets of Singapore, Gershwin sung in a Copenhagen cabaret, and jazz insinuating itself into a warm Moroccan night. American music is one of the hottest things to leave our shores, becoming among our most pervasive and sought-after exports – more so than American art, theater, dance, or literature.
Ticketing: members of Fine Arts Society and Peoria Riverfront Room free; non-member adults: $10

[FAS Members, 4/15 email has discount code for free tickets]
