Chelsea Music Festival announces a performance of Min Kwon's America/Beautiful, set for Monday, June 22, 2026 from 7-9pm at St. Paul's German Church, 315 West 22nd Street, New York, NY, 10011. Tickets start at $65 and can be purchased here .

America/Beautiful is pianist Min Kwon's project - born during the pandemic - which commissioned variations on "America the Beautiful" from over 70 composers across the country, ranging in age from 21 to 96, and asking a single urgent question: What is America - is it beautiful, was it ever, or will it ever be? Selections will include New York Premieres by Samuel Adler, Stewart Copeland , Fred Hersch , Kenji Bunch, Libby Larsen, Timo Andres and others; each composer brings a radically different perspective on the American experience. Together, these variations form a powerful collection of stories as colorful and diverse as America's people and landscapes. Images of American landscapes to accompany each variation by photographer Park Joon.
