SUMMARY:Shifting Subjects: Heroes of the West: Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:The first hero was nature herself; sweeping landscapes awed early audiences and are still prominent in modern pieces. Then\, the people took their turn. Though early depictions of cowboys and Native Americans were often flawed in interpretation and depiction\, it is the heroic moments of perseverance within a harsh landscape that made them worthy of immortalization through art. Finally\, wildlife stole the focus. \nThe simple yet powerful balance animals create in nature harmonized the disruptiveness of people and the emptiness of a landscape. Each of these subjects has created visual lessons on what the West is\, was\, and how it has changed today. \nAdmission to the Museum and it’s exhibitions is always free. Shifting Subjects: Heroes of the West is on view April 2 through May 31.

SUMMARY:Home\, Love\, and Loss: Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is the third in a series of American art exhibitions created through a multiyear\, multi-institutional partnership formed by the Amon Carter Museum of American Art as part of the Art Bridges Cohort Program. Bringing together more than 66 works from the collection of Art Bridges\, the Amarillo Museum of Art\, Art Museum of South Texas\, Amon Carter Museum of American Art\, and the Ellen Noël Art Museum\, this exhibition features family lifecycles from aging to death. This collection of works\, comprised of paintings\, photographs\, works on paper\, and video\, delves into the milestones and challenges of family and community life—from birth to aging\, and from the bonds of joy to the fractures of loss. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on how we form families and communities; how those relationships are disrupted by adversity\, such as illness\, poverty\, or immigration; and how they are fortified through love\, celebration\, and resilience.

SUMMARY:Chamber Chorale: "Old American Songs"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Brad Light\, Chorale Director\nDr. Erica Rumbley\, Pianist \n$25 General Admission\, Students $12\nPURCHASE TICKETS ONLINE\n800-514-3849 \nThis program offers a window into the roots of American musical identity\, drawing on folk hymns\, early sacred music\, and spirituals that emerged from communities rather than concert halls. These songs—passed down through oral tradition\, shaped by regional practices\, and grounded in shared experience—capture a uniquely direct and expressive musical language. From the stark\, modal contours of early New England psalmody to the flowing lyricism of folk-derived melodies\, this repertoire reflects a nation finding its voice through simplicity\, sincerity\, and collective song. \nSeveral highlights illuminate the breadth and depth of that tradition. The music of William Billings stands as one of the earliest expressions of a distinctly American compositional style\, while later arrangers like Alice Parker and Robert Shaw bring renewed clarity and vitality to traditional hymnody and spirituals. The contributions of Florence Price and Moses Hogan highlight the enduring power and emotional depth of the spiritual tradition\, transforming these songs into compelling concert works that retain their deep sense of authenticity and purpose. \nThe program concludes with the music of Aaron Copland\, whose settings of folk material helped define a modern American sound—one that honors its roots while embracing a broader\, more expansive musical landscape. In “The Promise of Living” from The Tender Land\, Copland brings together many of the program’s central themes—community\, labor\, and hope—into a broad\, luminous conclusion. Taken together\, these works invite us to hear not just a collection of pieces\, but a living tradition—one that continues to resonate with clarity\, strength\, and a shared sense of purpose. \nI. \nWyndham\nDaniel Read (1757 – 1836)\, arr.
