This program celebrates the enduring spirit of America through music that has stood the test of time. As we mark 250 years of a nation shaped by resilience, innovation, and an evolving identity, Built to Last highlights works that reflect the strength, diversity, and stories of the American experience.

 

That story is not singular. Alongside American composers, we feature voices from around the world, recognizing that the American narrative has always been shaped by those who arrive, contribute, and find their voice here. As a nation of immigrants, our cultural identity is enriched by these perspectives, woven into the fabric of who we are.

 

Some works endure through masterful craftsmanship, others through the emotions and ideals they carry across generations. Together, they remind us that while our nation continues to grow and change, the values and voices that define it remain.

​

Admission is free, but a ticket is required!

Enter through Door 5 and continue to the auditorium.
