In celebration of America’s 250th birthday, the Alpharetta Symphony brings to you music that celebrates both our origins and our rich national history. First up is well-known music by some of the most famous British composers in history. Then, you’ll enjoy works that just sound quintessentially American - think the cowhands of the American Frontier, love stories woven into the tapestry of New York City, and fall in New England. Ring in America’s 250th anniversary with your Alpharetta Symphony!
