His Life and Music
Born into Boston wealth, Harvard educated, and German trained (composition), Converse was considered by many to be the most important composer in America just prior to World War I. Performances of his operas by the Metropolitan and Boston Opera companies greatly stimulated acceptance of indigenous American opera.
