Celebrating a Tapestry of American Music

The Philharmonic Winds of Malaysia has put together a programme of American music. Beyond sharing about this upcoming concert, the musicians share their insights into the characteristics of this music and what about it resonates with us here. They also help us better understand this music of open spaces, possibilities and the idealised common man.
