From American masterpieces like Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring to Gershwin’s beloved Summertime, we look forward to entertaining and inspiring audiences with each program this year. We are also very excited to feature great guest artists like world renowned Metropolitan Opera soprano Angela Brown on a program in February that will celebrate the sesquicentennial of Fayetteville State University.
