America Together

Your Space Coast Symphony Winds, under the direction of Aaron Collins, presents America, Together, a free patriotic concert honoring service, sacrifice, and the heroes who make that freedom possible. At the heart of the program is the Armed Forces Salute — the reason we gather each year — as we recognize and celebrate the men and women of our military, past and present. The concert also includes patriotic favorites such as America the Beautiful and Shenandoah, along with marches by John Philip Sousa. Soprano Beth Green returns to perform with the winds on God Bless the USA and America the Beautiful. Three world premieres anchor the program: Christopher Marshall’s The Lost, performed by SCSO Principal Cellist David Calhoun, is a deeply personal reflection on memory, absence, and those we carry with us. R. Michael Daugherty’s The Decoration Day Parade draws inspiration from the origins of Memorial Day, while Mark Piszczek’s Dedication and March honors the legacy of Joseph Kreines. Florida composer Sonya Leonore Stahl returns with Solutions, a powerful work shaped by mystery, ritual, and bold cinematic sweep. Philip Sparke’s The Year of the Dragon rounds out the program and is one of the great showpieces in all of wind literature, allowing the wind ensemble a chance to show its virtuosity and power. Guest Conductor Charles G. Ellis joins Aaron on the podium for this program of remembrance, gratitude, and community. America, Together is a chance to honor our heroes, gather as a community, and celebrate the music that brings us together.
