America Sings!

Recital for Art Song Canberra by AJ America (mezzo-soprano) and Roland Peelman (piano).
From Kurt Weill to Australia’s own Peggy Glanville Hicks, composers flocked to the United States during the 20th century. Some were searching for new opportunity, but many were fleeing atrocities across Europe. At the same time, American Art Song emerged out of its German romantic roots and started to find its own character. In America Sings, AJ America and Roland Peelman explore the changing world of American Art Song.
