American Impressionism

This concert is made possible through the generous support of Karen and Rich Calo.

In celebration of America’s 250th birthday, the 2026 Resident Festival Artists invite you to immerse yourself in the lush, evocative sound world of American Impressionism. Highlighting three visionary American composers, the program explores the American answer to the impressionist movement, highlighting the subtle textures, nuance, and distinctive spirit of early 20th century American music through the works of Arthur Foote, Charles Tomlinson Griffes, and Florence Price. Arrive early to explore the Newport Art Museum for a truly enriching afternoon.
