Estes Park Museum program to feature music of summer resident and composer Arne Oldberg
On Saturday, July 27 at 4 p.m., join the Estes Park Museum and pianist Jennifer Muñiz in exploring the works of American composer and Estes Park summer resident Arne Oldberg. One of several perseverant cultural figures in Chicago at the turn of the 19th century, Oldberg was determined to re-define the U.S. artistic identity. He can be described as a “Brahms in our backyard.” The musicians from this time have been researched separately, such as John Alden Carpenter and Rudolf Ganz, and the musical oddities of the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893, but this recital explores the music from a community of composers that formed a larger “Chicago School,” similar in the way that musicologists identify a “Second New England School” in Boston around this time. The concert program, in addition to the music of Oldberg, includes solo piano pieces by John Alden Carpenter, Rudolf Ganz and Florence Price, as well as Howard Hanson, who was the director at the Eastman School of Music for forty years. Estes Park was the summer composing location of Oldberg, allowing an exciting venue for exploring his contributions to music history, along with a glimpse of the wider musical milieu in Gilded Age Chicago (1880s and 1890s) and its impact on later generations.
