In celebration of Hempy's 25th anniversary series "Reflection," RODEO: Works by Aaron Copland examines the landscapes, both literal and figurative, that shape American identity. Inspired by pianist Emiko Edwards' own journey between the urban arts scene of Philadelphia and a historic rodeo town in rural Missouri, the program reframes Copland's piano music through the lens of America's cultural and physical landscapes. Through performance and engaging commentary, audiences will gain insight into the historical and artistic influences that shaped Copland's voice: World War II, the assimilation of refugees, jazz, his studies with Nadia Boulanger in Paris, and his collaboration with choreographer Agnes de Mille on the beloved ballet Rodeo. The result is a concert that reflects on America's past while inviting listeners to hear the music of the "Dean of American Music" in a new light.

The Hempy Keyboard Series returns to the SCA Bob & Bobbie Lobby for an intimate and truly immersive experience for music lovers and piano enthusiasts. From classical to jazz, a specially curated lineup of professional pianists from around the country will enchant guests.
