America 250: Let Freedom Ring!
The story of America can be heard through its music. As our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary, Medalist Concert Band explores that story through classic patriotic works and inspiring compositions by today's leading composers. From the timeless music of Sousa and Copland to the expressive voices of Frank Ticheli, Kimberly Archer, Julie Giroux, and Omar Thomas, Let Freedom Ring! showcases the rich tradition and continuing evolution of American concert band music. A highlight of the afternoon is Aaron Copland's iconic Lincoln Portrait, featuring special guest narrator Bob Shomper, a veteran broadcaster and the "Golden Voice" of the University of Iowa Hawkeye Marching Band.
Tickets: $17* adults | $15* Seniors and students
