Many know of Aaron Copland the composer, writer, educator, and conductor, but far fewer have had the chance to know the man himself. Vivian Perlis, founding director of the Oral History Project in American Music & co-author of Copland’s autobiographies, not only takes us through the life of this great American composer, but also shows us a small window into what it was like to know the man behind the music. Aaron Copland's music is still widely performed around the world today. Find upcoming concerts and information in the performance calendar. This season marks the 125th anniversary of Copland's birth and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Amid the recent and upcoming festivities, Jennifer DeLapp-Birkett takes us through the history of Copland birthday celebrations.Browse all performers
