En route from St. Paul, Minnesota, the Library of Congress headed to New York City to embark on the fifth segment of the inaugural “Song of America” concert tour. The activities began early the morning of Thursday, January 19, 2006, with Thomas Hampson’s appearance on ABC’s nationwide news series, Good Morning America. After an interview session with Diane Sawyer, Thomas Hampson, with pianist Wolfram Rieger, performed Stephen White’s arrangement of “Shenandoah” on live television. Later that evening, Thomas Hampson and Wolfram Rieger joined forces once again to present the “Song of America” concert program at Carnegie Hall’s Issac Stern Auditorium.
On Friday, January 20, 2006, the Library’s Educational Outreach team traveled to New York’s City Hall Academy to present a one-day Teachers’ Institute. The workshop, entitled “Making a Statement through Song and Poetry,” was specifically developed in conjunction with the “Song of America” concert tour to instruct K-12 teachers on using the Library of Congress’s online primary source materials to explore the legacy of American song and poetry.
