Immigrant Composers from Dvorak to Waxman to Bartok

Sticky Notes: The Classical Music Podcast - A podcast by Joshua Weilerstein - Thursdays

A couple of weeks ago I promised you a Thanksgiving show on American music. I also realized that this will be my second Thanksgiving NOT living in the US, and it got me thinking about the immigration story of my family. How does this all relate to classical music? Well, there is an extremely significant set of composers who immigrated to the US, and today we're going to spend time exploring their stories, and understanding the music they wrote once they arrived here. I'm really proud of this episode.
