Performance - Trail Of Tears

Trail Of Tears By Amy Porter Flutist.

The APO presents international award-winning flutist Amy Porter performing Trail of Tears, a new commission by Grammy Award-winning composer Michael Daugherty.  In the composer's words; "one of the tragedies of human history is forced removal of peoples from their homeland for political, economic, racial, religious, or cultural reasons.  My flute concerto is a musical journey into how the human spirit discovers ways to deal with upheaval, adversity and adapting to a new environment."
