ABOUT THE PROGRAM
“The Land That Shapes Us” brings our American Adventures season to a sweeping close, reflecting on the landscapes that define our character and leave their imprint on our lives’ stories. A newly commissioned work by Tanner Porter, inspired by the Colorado River, traces the waterway’s power and poetry—its quiet source, surging currents, and life-giving presence across the West. Schuman’s New England Triptych reimagines early American hymn tunes with bracing energy and noble simplicity, while Respighi’s Pines of Rome paints towering trees and sunlit vistas in cinematic brilliance, culminating in a triumphant procession that feels elemental and unforgettable.
