Aaron Copland: Jewish Dean of American Composers

Hosted By: Jewish Study Center

The Jewish Study Center will host a two-part online class exploring the 1940s output of Aaron Copland, often considered the “Dean of American Composers.” The class will examine iconic works like Appalachian Spring, Fanfare for the Common Man, and Rodeo, discussing whether Copland’s Jewish immigrant background influenced his distinctly American sound or if his music’s popularity shaped public perception. The sessions will feature recordings, video excerpts, and possible live performances from the instructor.
