Join us to hear compositions by the six finalists in this inaugural event. There are three finalists in two categories, classical and popular music, whose work will be performed by musicians from the American Pops Orchestra. The competition is named for Ruth Wales du Pont, wife of Henry Francis du Pont, who studied music at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore. She composed dozens of musical pieces throughout her life and enjoyed entertaining her family and guests by playing on her grand piano. The American Pops Orchestra and Winterthur have partnered to create this exciting new event for collegiate composers. $25, adults. $10, students. Free for Members.
