Join the West Point Band for “West Point on the March,” an exploration of the most classic American military musical genre: the march, featuring some of Sousa’s best-known works alongside lively selections like “Americans We” and Ethel Smyth’s, “March of the Women." The West Point Brass Quintet will take center stage, bringing the powerful and soulful sounds of a New Orleans funeral procession to life. The concert concludes with a cinematic flair, featuring iconic movie marches from “Indiana Jones” and “The Music Man.”
“American Tapestry” celebrates the composers who have called America home, whether by birth or choice, blending cultural influences to create something uniquely and beautifully American. This program highlights the rich diversity of our musical landscape, featuring Leonard Bernstein’s inspiring “Make Our Garden Grow,” Percy Grainger’s “Lincolnshire Posy,” and Chen Yi’s vibrant “Dragon Rhyme.” Dana Wilson’s “The Avatar” highlights the bassoon’s depth and versatility, performed by featured soloist Sgt. 1st Class Briana Hoffman, while Morton Gould’s playful “Yankee Doodle” adds a touch of Americana. Join us for an evening of music that honors the artistry, unity, and cultural richness that define America. This event is free and open to the public - no tickets are required.
