The American Five Ford's Theatre Tickets & Info
Experience a compelling evening with The American Five at Washington on September 27, 2025, at the theatre. This distinguished ensemble brings to life the innovative spirit of five pioneering American composers from the early 20th century, each contributing uniquely to the development of a distinctly American sound in orchestral music. The program highlights works like Henry Cowell's 'The Abongo' (1933), which masterfully integrates African rhythms and sound instruments, exemplifying his experimental approach to expanding musical boundaries. The performance also features Carl Ruggles's intense 'March of the Furies' (1921), a powerful and concise piece for piano that foreshadows his later orchestral compositions, and Charles Ives's evocative songs that reflect his deep exploration of American themes and melodies. Known for his perfectionism, Ruggles often took extended periods to complete his works, which adds to the richness of his musical legacy. Don't miss this rare opportunity to experience how these composers' innovative ideas continue to influence American music today.
