Excelsior Orchestra Spring Concert: Celebrating American Music!
Morton Gould’s “American Salute” uses the melody “When Johnny Comes Marching Home,” for a salute to America’s World War II allies. Charles Ives’ “Variations on ‘America’” presents that familiar piece in an entirely new way, as only Ives’ imagination could invent.
African-American composers are well-represented on the program. ESO performs W.C. Handy’s swinging “St. Louis Blues,” Florence Price’s soulful “Concert Overture No. 2” and William Grant Still’s blues-haunted “Afro-American Symphony.”
ESO’s late Music Director, William Eckfeld, composed “Fanfare for Hackley” for brass choir, in honor of the orchestra’s participation in Diller Hall’s inaugural season.
For more information on the program, Dr. Joshua Berrett’s concert notes, and ticket purchasing information, go to www.excelsiorso.org. Tickets are $30/adults, $10/high school and college students, free/under age 14.
The concert location is Hackley School's Diller Hall, located in the Allen Center for the Creative Arts and Technology, 293 Benedict Ave., Tarrytown, NY.
