An American Showcase

Celebrating our nation’s 250th anniversary

The Stockbridge Sinfonia celebrates our nation’s 250th anniversary with a program of works by American composers, featuring the stunning Symphony No. 1 in E minor by Florence Price. The orchestra teams up with members of Berkshire County choirs to present choral works by Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland, as well as America the Beautiful.

The program will also include Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto in E-flat major with Peter Fiegel, the Sinfonia’s principal trumpet as soloist, and the world premiere of Stephen Murray’s Ceremonial Music for Orchestra. Program notes for these pieces are below.

This concert is free and open to the public.
