| In 2008 the Dallas Symphony premiered "August 4, 1964," an oratorio by composer Steven Stucky in honor of President Lyndon B. Johnson. The work follows events of that day in the LBJ White House, a pivotal day that both shaped the civil rights movement in America and led to the tragic escalation of the war in Vietnam.
Steven Stucky, recipient of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize in Music, plays excerpts from this oratorio and discusses the role of politics in today's classical music.
