What is American music? Our national soundscape is rich in diversity: diversity of style, of language, and of cultural contexts. It is indeed this diversity that makes something "American." Together, we observe the beauty of unity as opposed to uniformity.

The winner of the 2026 High School Concerto Competition will also perform with the orchestra. This concert offers all attendees who are under 18 complimentary tickets.
