Event Details

Westchester’s renowned “house band,” the internationally-acclaimed Music from Copland House ensemble, kicks off the 2022 New Rochelle ArtsFest with the World Premiere of a new work by award-winning composer Steven Snowden that celebrates the unique culture and history of “the Queen City on the Sound.” This short piece was inspired by the quirky and wonderful idea of “musicalizing” the mathematical sequences of the traffic signals at the intersection of Huguenot Street and  Centre Avenue! Snowden’s new composition headlines Music from Copland House’s dazzling salute to New Rochelle’s rich musical legacy, which also features works by native or transplanted composers such as Grammy-winner Joan Tower and Derek Bermel, as well beloved songwriters George M. Cohan, Alan Mencken, and George Gershwin.
