This piece was composed for Maud Powell to be performed with the Sousa Band during its tour of the British Isles in 1905, but the 'Fantasia' existed only in manuscript until now. |
Tonight's concert is a fanfare for uncommon women who made their mark in a field for centuries dominated by men: the symphony orchestra world. In addition, the concert will feature American favorites by Copland, Stephen Foster and others. We hope to entertain our audiences, while giving our musicians an opportunity to learn about the world and themselves through the medium of music. |
