ABOUT THE PROGRAM
“The American Sound” considers how national identity resonates through music while honoring Colorado’s milestone year. The program opens with a special co-commission by Coloradan composer Leigha Amick: a bold fanfare celebrating Colorado, performed on the 150th anniversary of the state’s admission to the Union. Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings offers lyrical elegance and glowing warmth, while Copland’s Symphony No. 3 crowns the evening with expansive grandeur, weaving the iconic Fanfare for the Common Man into a sweeping symphonic statement that feels unmistakably American in scale, optimism, and sound.
