This episode of Sinfonicast is a special one. We are talking to Jule Streety to learn how American Identity began to form at the turn of the Twentieth Century. Part 1 focuses on the beginning with the Boston Six, a group of composers that socialized together and created music with the effort to be distinctly American. Jule and I take bits from different symphonies from these composers, read articles of the time, and much more to explore the birth of American music. In Sinfonia, we talk about the origins of our Fraternity and how it was founded on the idea of supporting American music; this three-part series will give context to these lessons.
