Join the Hampton Roads Philharmonic on Sunday, April 19, 2026, at 2:30 PM at Diamonstein Concert Hall, Christopher Newport University, for a compelling all-American program marking America’s 250th anniversary.
At the center of the concert is Florence Price’s Symphony No. 1, a landmark work that combines symphonic power with spiritual melodies and dance-inspired rhythms. The program also features selections from Edward MacDowell’s Indian Suite, rich with 19th-century romantic character, and Steven Bryant’s Dusk, a reflective modern work that captures the quiet glow of day’s end.
This is a rare opportunity to experience a program that connects American musical voices across generations in one of the region’s premier concert halls.
