Artina McCain, PianoThis extraordinary program features the powerful, contemporary voice of Carlos Simon, whose music resonates with history, hope, and heart.
Pianist Artina McCain returns to perform George Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F, a brilliant fusion of classical tradition and bold jazz rhythms—pulsing with energy, romance, and the unmistakable spirit of the American Jazz Age.
The program closes with Peter Boyer’s Ellis Island: Dream of America, a poignant tribute to the immigrants who shaped the American story. Blending theater and multimedia, the work features actors and projected images from the Ellis Island archives, with spoken texts drawn from real interviews in the Ellis Island Oral History Project. This dynamic work reminds us of the hopes, struggles, and dreams that built a nation.
