In 2021, Cash became the first female composer to receive the MacDowell Medal, which has been awarded to an artist who has made an outstanding contribution to American culture since 1960.
To support the exhibit opening, she will participate in a conversation and performance in the museum’s Ford Theater this Sunday (Dec. 8).
