Masterpiece 2 

This concert is a powerful tribute to veterans, honoring their courage and sacrifice through exceptional music that embodies the American spirit. Our stirring program opens with Dudley Buck’s 1879 Festival Overture on The Star-Spangled Banner followed by Morton Gould’s rousing An American Salute. Solemn trumpet fanfares frame Maurice Ravel’s elegant Le Tombeau de Couperin and Barber’s deeply moving Adagio for Strings. Following intermission, Aaron Copland’s grand Symphony No. 3 brings the afternoon to a triumphant resolution. Experience a concert filled with reflection, remembrance, and reverence for those who have served.

Ticketholders are invited to a preconcert talk about the program, led by George Scharr, Cape Symphony Orchestra trombonist from 1989 - 2025. The talk begins one hour before the concert.
