MAIN STREET COMMUNITY BAND – SPOTLIGHT ON THE ARTS: “WE THE PEOPLE”
Sunday, April 26th
4:00 PM
SHERWOOD CENTER

As we celebrate Fairfax’s annual ‘Spotlight on the Arts’ festival, the Main Street Community Band presents We The People, a powerful musical celebration of America’s past, present, and future. This thought-provoking program reimagines beloved folk songs and patriotic tunes through the voices of diverse and contemporary composers. From the bold opening of Fanfare for World Peace to the sweeping beauty of Ticheli’s Shenandoah and the powerful strains of Copland’s Variations on a Shaker Melody, each work offers a fresh perspective on familiar traditions. Highlights include Amanda Aldridge’s spirited march On Parade, Bernstein’s iconic America from ‘West Side Story’, and Andrew David Perkins’ contemporary masterpiece Tuebor. With something everyone can enioy, this is a concert to inspire and unite!
