A Salute to Our Veterans

Join the Allen Philharmonic Orchestra & Symphony Chorus on Veteran's Day as we join forces on stage for a patriotic and moving musical tribute to America and our veterans. 

The evening will begin with a Pre-Concert Showcase by Guitars for Vets and the opportunity to learn about area Veteran Support groups that include Guitars for Vets, Heroes on the Water, and Blue Star Mothers. Enjoy music from John Williams' scores for The Patriot and Saving Private Ryan and Aaron Copland's inspirational Lincoln Portrait with special Guest Narrator, George Cornelius!
