- **Event Name**: Our American Story
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: In paying tribute to the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, our programming for the Season Finale of our 130th Season was chosen to represent a wide berth of compositional contributions from various corners of the U.S. Pairing Joan Tower’s Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman with Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man gives us a unique opportunity of reflection across the decades. Valerie Colman’s Umoja (Anthem of Unity) is now a staple in concert halls across the nation, and the New England Triptych by William Schuman takes us on a musical journey to a New England of the not-so-distant past. Our season finale concert culminates in a suite of much-beloved music from George Gershwin’s opera, “Porgy and Bess" with guest soloists soprano Denisha Ballew and baritone Keenan McCarter. Single tickets go on sale August 7, 2025 through the Collins Center for the Arts box office, call 207-581-1755 for ticket information.
