Exploring Music

The Boston Six

At the dawn of the twentieth century, a small circle of New England composers helped forge a distinctly American musical voice. This week introduces the Boston Six – John Knowles Paine, Arthur Foote, George Chadwick, Amy Beach, Edward MacDowell, and Horatio Parker. With Peter as our guide, listeners explore their training in Boston and Europe and hear how their works shaped what would become the American sound.
