UTEP, the El Paso Symphony Orchestra, and EPISD are working together to produce a "Dvorak and America" Festival put together by New York writer/producer Joseph Horowitz. This is part of a high-profile initiative involving a host of other nationwide orchestras that form part of Horowitz’s Music Unwound consortium--a project heavily funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Dvorak and America will be performed by the El Paso Symphony Orchestra on Friday and Saturday, February 19 and 20, 2016 at the Plaza Theatre. Here to tell us about this initiative and performance is Dr. Lorenzo Caldelaria, Professor or Music History and Literature at The University of Texas at El Paso.
