Violinist William Harvey is on a year long exploration of the question “What is American Culture?” Fronting a string quartet of Dallas Symphony members, William is joined by his brother, cellist Theodore Harvey, violinist Miika Greg and violist Emily Williams in a program of American composers.
What is American culture? This project encourages YOU to answer that question!
To catalyze reflection on this important question,violinist William Harvey will visit all 50 states in the USA–one week per state–in a collaborative, educational, and participatory quest to highlight the many strands that combine to form the American cultural tapestry. In each state, he will perform, interview people about what American culture means to them, and conduct workshops designed to encourage reflection on the topic.
