“Our community is coming together in an extraordinary display of unity and creativity to host the All-American Festival Concert,” Kloss says. “This will be a celebration of American composers and music forms and should be a great way for the community to connect and celebrate such an important part of our history.”
Scheduled to take place during Fourth of July weekend, the concert will feature band and choral pieces performed by ISU alumni, students, and community musicians. The concert is a celebration of American music and will feature American compositions by John Williams, John Philip Sousa, Oscar Peterson, Aaron Copland, and conclude with the patriotic classic “Stars and Stripes Forever.” The repertoire will span various genres, including marches, jazz, Dixieland, and dance music, ensuring an enjoyable experience for all attendees.
