The 2025–26 Classic Series comes to a stirring finale with music of America. Maestro Gomez’s discovery of music by Robert Mucyznski, the late head of composition at the University of Arizona, continues with his Symphony (1953) receiving its first-ever performance. It is paired with Copland’s vibrant, muscular Symphony No. 3 and Joan Tower’s Sixth Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman.
