The American Five Ford's Theatre Tickets & Info
Discover the captivating world of The American Five at Washington on October 8, 2025, at THEATRE, a groundbreaking musical experience you won't want to miss. This performance celebrates the innovative spirit of the legendary American Five, a collective of pioneering composers whose work reshaped American contemporary music. Highlights include Ruggles's 'Exaltation' for percussion and brass, composed in the late 1950s, showcasing bold textures and dynamic rhythms, and 'Men and Mountains,' a seminal piece that exemplifies their experimental approach to sound. Composer Henry Cowell's influential Symphony No. 3 (1948) also features, exemplifying the group's diverse influences. The American Five's pioneering efforts extended to complex player piano studies—an intricate process involving manually punching perforated paper to achieve precise musical expression. Despite their groundbreaking contributions, many of their works gained full recognition only posthumously, making this concert a rare opportunity to experience their legacy live. Immerse yourself in an unforgettable evening of innovative musical storytelling, and enjoy exclusive meet-and-greet opportunities with the artists after the show. Celebrate the spirit of musical exploration and be part of a dynamic performance that redefines live theatre and musical artistry.
