A stirring tribute to the American spirit — its courage, creativity, and boundless hope — performed by a distinguished ensemble of artists. This special Veteran’s Day celebration honors the resilience and diversity that shape America’s musical voice.
From the heartfelt lyricism of Florence Price and William Grant Still, to the vibrant imagination of Jennifer Higdon and Peter Schickele, and culminating in the timeless Americana of AntonĂn Dvořák, this program weaves together stories of freedom, struggle, and triumph.
Each piece reflects a chapter in the ongoing symphony of America — a land where every melody, like every person, contributes to the greater harmony of hope.
This concert is presented in gratitude to those who have served, whose courage continues to inspire the music of a nation.
