Copland House, the award-winning creative center for American music and the arts, based at legendary composer Aaron Copland's National Historic Landmark home in New York’s Lower Hudson Valley, today announced its selection of Caples Jefferson Architects to plan, design, and develop Bluestone Farm, its vast satellite venue on the New York-Connecticut border.

This project will honor Aaron Copland’s legacy by creating a vibrant space for creativity, learning, and community engagement. From state-of-the-art performance venues to artist studios and gardens, this expansion will welcome people of all ages and backgrounds into the exhilarating world of the arts.

As Principals Sara Caples and Everardo Jefferson explained their attraction to the project, "We love that the campus builds on the foundational legacy of Aaron Copland, whose compositions brought our nation’s music to new levels. We look to find ways, as Copland did, to create experiences that go deep into our art while providing accessible enjoyment to all. We’re excited by the game-changing possibilities that will result as Copland House’s compelling vision reshapes its new campus as a pivotal location for creation and performance. We’re deeply honored to be working on this verdant, hilly site, re-centering it in contemporary American sound."

Stay tuned as we bring this inspiring vision to life!
