The brilliance and legacy of a composer’s musical output is often not fully realized until long after their passing. This concert features stunning works by American composers who are alive, well, and composing music for bands, orchestras, and choirs. The works on this program represent the energy and “joie de vivre” of the American spirit that inspired these artists to write such amazing music.
