The centerpiece of our celebration is a collaboration between two distinguished area artists, one a master of images, the other of orchestral sound. Both have deep roots in Akron. Dave Brubeck and his son Chris have created a similar work, written to accompany 100 awe-inspiring photographs of Ansel Adams. Dvorak - who advocated that American composers celebrate what is native to America--would certainly have approved.
