American Dreams (Celebrating America 250)

American Dreams (Celebrating America 250)

Fort Wayne Philharmonic

More details

The second celebration in our America 250 series begins with Peter Boyer’s ELLIS ISLAND: The Dream of America. This work was released in 2002 and tells the story of the immigrant experience of searching for new life in the New World. Leonard Bernstein’s non-traditional Symphony No. 2, The Age of Anxiety, inspired by Auden’s Pulitzer Prize-winning poetry, brings the evening to a jazzy close.
