“Dvořák, Beach, and American Music in the 1890s” presented by E. Douglas Bomberger, PhD
The establishment of major orchestras, the building of concert halls, and the explosive popularity of ragtime reflected America’s hunger for music of the 1890s. Explore the cultural climate of the decade through the works of renowned Czech composer Antonín Dvořák and America’s leading female composer Amy Beach.

E. Douglas Bomberger, PhD, professor of music emeritus at Elizabethtown College. Dr. Bomberger has published seven books and over 100 articles on diverse subjects, and his most recent book is The Cambridge Companion to Amy Beach. Dr. Bomberger serves as president of the Society for American Music and is an active member of the American Musicological Society and the College Music Society.
