Event Calendar 10 April 2010, Saturday (Park City) Smithsonian New Harmonies: Celebrating American Roots Music Exhibit (April 10-May 25) Location: Park City; Park City Museum - 528 Main Street New Harmonies, a traveling Smithsonian exhibition, will be touring five Utah communities from April 2010 to January 2011, in partnership with the Utah Humanities Council. The exhibit examines the cultural significance of American roots music and the way in which it has shaped American society. First stop is the Park City Museum. Listen to America's music and hear the story of freedom. It's the story of people in a New World, places they have left behind, and ideas they have brought with them. It is the story of people who were already here, but whose world is remade. The distinct cultural identities of all of these people are carried in song—both sacred and secular. Their music tracks the unique history of many peoples reshaping each other into one incredibly diverse and complex people—Americans. Their music is the roots of American music.
