Description:
Celebrate the 200th anniversary of Stephen Foster's birth through an afternoon of American song. Born on July 4, 1826, Foster helped define the sound of 19th-century American music through melodies that continue to be performed today. This American Jukebox program brings together beloved Foster favorites, lesser-known gems, and songs from the broader American tradition. With audience choices woven into the afternoon, each performance is a little bit different, as audience members help choose part of the program.
