Helicon opens its twenty-fourth season with a Symposium dedicated to the multi-faceted voices of American composers. We begin in 1901 at the dawn of the “American Century” with the evocative music of French-immigrant, Charles Loeffler, and then move to iconoclast, Charles Ives for his quirky, touching songs steeped in American folk music. Samuel Barber’s String Quartet follows with its gripping “Adagio for Strings,” famously featured in Oliver Stone’s “Platoon.” After intermission, Pedja Muzijevic plays the hypnotic In a Landscape by visionary genius, John Cage, and then is joined by the young string quartet, Brooklyn Rider, for Amy Beach’s lush Piano Quintet of 1907.
