Led by Music Director Dr. Hilarie Clark Moore\, the performance is part of broader America 250 commemorations and blends classical\, jazz\, film\, and patriotic influences into a program designed to appeal to longtime orchestra supporters as well as casual listeners looking for a relaxing Sunday cultural outing. \nThe concert lineup highlights works connected to some of the most recognizable names in American music\, including John Williams\, Aaron Copland\, Duke Ellington\, and George Gershwin. Together\, the selections reflect a wide range of American musical traditions\, from sweeping orchestral themes and jazz influences to compositions deeply tied to the country’s cultural identity.

Ticket pricing remains intentionally affordable\, with discounted admission available for seniors and children ages 6 to 12\, while children under 6 are admitted free.
