Celebrate the spirit of America as the Austin Symphonic Band honors the nation’s 250th birthday with a stirring musical journey across time and geography. From the bold brass fanfare of Jenkins’s "American Overture for Band" to the poignant tribute of LoPresti’s "Elegy for a Young American," this program captures the heartbeat of a nation in motion.
Clare Grundman’s "Concord" evokes the ideals of early America, while Sousa’s "From Maine to Oregon" marches us coast to coast in just two minutes. After intermission, Piunno’s "Bright Shadow Fanfare" offers a modern reflection on identity and light, leading to Robert Russell Bennett’s sweeping "Suite of Old American Dances," a nostalgic nod to the rhythms of yesteryear. The concert closes with the beloved "Yellow Rose of Texas," blooming with warmth and pride.
Join us for a musical celebration of heritage, hope, and harmony — an unforgettable tribute to These United States.
