A Veterans’ Tribute — TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR
We will come together for a very special Veterans Day tribute, featuring all American composers and honoring our nation’s heroes across many generations, including soldiers, generals, and presidents. Aaron Copland’s portrait of Abraham Lincoln includes mesmerizing readings from his great speeches, while African-American soldiers are remembered in a moving memoriam, and a newly commissioned piece celebrates the novel “Cold Mountain.”
