Join us as we welcome Frederick Morden to the German American Heritage Center as he presents "The Symphony Immigrates to America: From Wiener Schnitzel to Melting Pot" Sunday, June 22nd at 2pm.

How and when did symphonic music grow new roots in the USA? Frederick Morden, retired orchestra-music director, conductor & composer will answer this and more. His talk is a wonderful musical history guide to our exhibition, "100 Years - 100 Stories: Celebrating a Century of Excellence of the Quad City Symphony Orchestra."

This program is sponsored by Humanities Iowa, Western Illinois University Foundtion, Charles B. Preacher Foundation, The Riverboat Development Authority, and the Downtown Davenport Partnership.
