Stage & Symphony: America’s Romantic Voices at Good Shepherd-Faith Prebyterian Church

We are pleased to announce that we will be performing our first live in-person concert since 2019!

On Wednesday March 11 at 8 PM, we will be celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the founding of America with a concert titled "Stage & Symphony: America's Romantic Voices" featuring works by Edward MacDowell, John Knowles Paine and George Frederick Bristow.

The program will open with Artistic Director Yoon Jae Lee's unique 18th century style arrangement of the Star Spangled Banner for classical orchestra which will open the program.

Two works inspired by Shakespeare will be featured on the 1st half and following intermission, we will perform Brooklyn native George Bristow's magnificent 2nd Symphony! We will end the concert with my new arrangement of "America the Beautiful" which will feature a sing along encore!

Please join us for this special occasion to hear rarely performed masterpieces by American composers!
