Baltimore-based violinist Yonatan Grinberg and pianist Teodora Adzharova will present a performance exploring how generations of immigrants have shaped and enriched American music, literature, and art. Join us in celebrating the creative legacies immigrants have brought to American culture, from the concert hall to the library and beyond, in a program spanning the classical masterpieces of John Philip Sousa and Aaron Copland, to popular songs by Irving Berlin and George Gershwin, to performance art by Yoko Ono. 

This music will be accompanied by a one-night-only display of archival artifacts, including rare posters promoting Sidney Poitier and works by Nellie C. Wong, the first Chinese woman to publish a Chinese cookbook in English.
