Chow Let's Snap! Edward Hopper (18821967) was an American painter of the Realist movement, known for his calculated, economic renderings of everyday scenes of American life. In this program, we will explore music relating to the search for “the best of all possible worlds”—each character represented in the music searches sometimes unsuccessfully for his or her own slice of sublime life. The program will capture the lighthearted spirit of America and its diverse background.
