On April 28, the Delaware Valley Wind Symphony will close their 2023-2024 season with American Classics! The concert will showcase the iconic sounds of great American composers, including the “Fascinatin’ Rhythms” of George Gershwin’s jazz-influenced music, the expansive sounds of Aaron Copland, evoking images of the vast landscape of America, the limitless energy of Leonard Berstein, and the connection to early American culture found in the music of William Schuman. A distinctive feature of the program will be a rare performance of Florence Price’s, The Old Boatman. Price was the first African American woman to be recognized as a symphonic composer. The concert will open with Gershwin’s Cuban Overture and include excerpts from Copland’s Pulitzer Prize winning, Appalachian Spring, music from Richard Rodger’s Victory at Sea, and other great American classics! Audience members are invited to stay for a light reception immediately following the concert. The concert will be held on Sunday, April 28, at 4:00 pm, at Holland Middle School, 400 East Holland Road, Holland, PA. The venue is handicapped accessible with ample free parking. Tickets will be available at the door.
