“Art preserves life in a very special way. Our memories die with us, but art preserves the values and experiences” – Undine Smith Moore

From the Courtyard first recreates the sounds of an East Village tenement courtyard, shared by multicultural immigrant families, then moves into the concert hall to hear how the rich legacy of folk music inspired later generations of composers. The concert features a premiere by Clarice Assad.
