“No event has quite captured the prevailing ideology of classical music in America like the premiere of Rob Kapilow’s ‘Citypiece’ last night at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall ... The piece itself was offered as a musical monument, a collective act of music-making and listening intended to bring the city together.” Rob Kapilow’s Citypieces celebrate American life – its history, peoples and places, diversity and common ground – revealed through the unifying process of collaborative compositions. Citypieces are created through explorations, conversations and town hall meetings with community groups, organizations and schools. Citypiece audiences across America discover music that is dynamic, heartfelt, accessible and entertaining.
