This fun and engaging event showcases iconic American works, including classics by the “Dean of American Music,” Copland, Dickau’s stirring If Music Be the Food of Love, selections from Kirchner, Thompson’s soul-lifting Alleluia, the bluegrass fire of Runestad’s Mountain Songs, and Kean’s powerful American Mass. Don’t miss this must-see tribute to the heart and soul of American music, where timeless melodies and patriotic spirit unite in a joyous, unforgettable performance that caps our season with pride and patriotism!
Says Artistic Director Allan Petker: “I cannot think of a better way to celebrate the anniversary of the American Revolution than singing.  So we’ve selected music written by some of America’s most famous and beloved composers: Aaron Copland, Samuel Barber, Randall Thompson, Jack Halloran, and living greats like Shawn Kirchner, David Dickau, Jake Runestad and Ron Kean.  The music ranges from original compositions to arrangements of American classic folk songs and hymns.  Let’s fill the house with celebration and joyful singing.  Join us!”
