Ansel Adams: America, composed by Chris Brubeck and Dave Brubeck, is a symphonic tribute saluting one of America's most cherished artists — Ansel Adams.

The 22-minute, one-movement piece, fully integrates sweeping melodies with 102 striking images of or by Ansel. Few people realize that Ansel Adams trained to be a classical musician, a fact which greatly influenced the work. It has consistently played to full houses, and has succeeded in its mission to bring new and larger audiences to orchestra concerts.

Ansel Adams: America has been performed to critical and popular acclaim by orchestras across the country. The Stockton Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Peter Jaffe, gave the world premiere and led a commissioning consortium of orchestras including the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra, Monterey Symphony, Fresno Philharmonic, Temple University Orchestra, and Abilene Philharmonic Orchestra. Ansel Adams: America has also been performed by the San Diego Symphony, Colorado Music Festival Orchestra, Yakima Symphony, Santa Barbara Symphony, North State Symphony, Sinfonia Gulf Coast, the Akron Symphony and more.
