Americana is Part I of Portal City, a project exploring the music and lives of composers who have made their homes in New York City, with a spotlight on uptown composers and the creation of new, uptown-centric chamber works. 

Supported in part by a Creative Engagement Grant from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and an Inwood Parks Grant from Partnership for Parks
