In recognition of the end of our 250th year as a free nation, the University of Michigan Symphony Band presents an All-American program from the diverse voices that permeate our country. From the overtly patriotic to the fiercely democratic, the collection of works on this program tell the story of a resilient and undaunted nation that embraces both a turbulent past and a hopeful future.
