Celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with Songs for America—Ben Rector’s heartfelt symphonic tribute to the country’s cities, stories, and shared spirit. Inspired by fifteen years of cross-country touring, this program pairs Rector’s most beloved originals with new orchestral works honoring the American songbook. It’s a blend of golden-era pop, Broadway sparkle, and modern hymn—infused with Rector’s signature wit and emotional honesty. Backed by Pacific Symphony and led by Enrico Lopez-Yañez, Rector brings his viral charm and stage presence to a concert that’s both joyful and deeply resonant. From big-sky ballads to toe-tapping anthems, this evening bridges nostalgia and newness in a celebration of everything that makes this country—and this music—so uniquely moving.
