Milwaukee, Wis.—Festival City Symphony will continue its 2014-2015 “Symphony Sundays” series with a concert titled American Masters on Sun., March 15, 2015, at 3:00 pm at the Pabst Theater, 144 East Wells Street.
“Through time, American composers often felt inferior to European masters,” said FCS Conductor Monte Perkins. “The three works featured in this program prove this is false.”
Aaron Copland’s exuberant “An Outdoor Overture” will begin the concert, followed by nineteenth-century composer George Whitefield Chadwick’s romantic “Symphony No. 2.” A beautiful new work by contemporary composer John Rutter, the “Suite Lyrique for Harp and Strings,” will feature FCS harpist Ann Lobotzke.
