\nOur celebrations of Magna Carta continue with a programme looking at the evolution of freedom in the United States. Kile Smith has been regularly hailed as one of the greatest American composers of our time- his song cycle Plain Truths is a richly observed portrait of life in the small town of Newburyport, Massachusetts, from Revolutionary rumblings through the Emancipation movement of the 1850\u2019s-60\u2019s through to the modern day. \u00a0Dvo\u0159\u00e1k\u2019s beloved \u201cAmerican\u201d Quartet was first published with a different title\u2014a word now considered a racial slur. Dvo\u0159\u00e1k\u2019s inspiration was to highlight the musical riches of African-American culture and the complexities of the Black experience. American cellist Kenneth Woods introduces this fascinating programme featuring the ESO\u2019s newest artist-in-association, Matthew Sharp.<\/p>\n
