Cultural Crossroads: Dvořák in America is a live concert experience that explores the Black and Indigenous influences on Dvořák during his time in America. The program weaves original Native American melodies and moving African American Spirituals along with Dvořák’s most beloved chamber music. Short videos and imagery add to this powerful multimedia experience. Cultural Crossroads, with its stellar cast of musicians, is a catalyst for audience engagement as it entertains, educates, and inspires, drawn from the curiosity of a Czech composer a century ago.

Cultural Crossroads: Dvořák in America, an ensemble of eight musicians, is available for international touring. Ensemble members include Bass Kenneth Kellogg, Native flutist R. Carlos Nakai, the Ciompi Quartet, percussionist Will Clipman, and violist Pamela Freund-Striplen. .
