Copland: Copland House
built 650 days ago
Copland House is Aaron Copland's landmark, longtime home in Cortlandt Manor, restored as a unique creative center for American music and supported by the Friends of Copland House. An Official Project of the White House Save America's Treasures program and listed in the National Register of Historic Places, Copland House is the only composer's home in the United States devoted to nurturing American composers and their work through a broad range of musical, educational, scholarly, and public activities. Music from Copland House, its resident ensemble, made a triumphant New York debut on Opening Night of Merkin Hall's 1999-2000 season, and has since emerged as one of the most exhilarating and distinctive ensembles on the American music scene. Inspired by Copland's peerless example, the ensemble's concerts journey widely across the American musical landscape, and ... include a vibrant array of works by non-U.S. composers. Music from Copland House has been engaged by some of America's leading concert venues, including Carnegie Hall, the Library of Congress, Monday Evening Concerts in Los Angeles, Brandeis University, Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study, Caramoor International and Cape Cod Music Festivals, and Columbia University's Miller Theatre.
