A musical journey of Heritage, Heart, and Horizon.

Celebrate the Spirit of America at its 250th Anniversary with Hope & Home—a powerful evening of music inspired by cross-cultural discovery, spiritual depth, and the enduring power of human connection.  From the stirring brass of Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, to the soulful longing in Dvořák’s Cello Concerto, and the sweeping vision of his beloved Symphony No. 9, “From the New World”, Dvořák’s resonant love letter to America—and to his own homeland.
These works share a profound emotional journey that transcends nation and culture, reminding us of the power and success of the great American “melting pot”. Together, they remind us that music has the power to bridge worlds, heal hearts, and express what words cannot. Join us as we pay tribute to the voices that shaped our nation—and those still rising.

Featuring charismatic Guest Artist Joshua Roman, Cello
