On Sunday, February 11 at 3:00 pm, the Tri-County Symphonic Band, under the direction of Philip Sanborn, will offer a salute to the office of the President of the United States titled “A Presidential Portrait.” What better way to celebrate a truly American weekend with a pre-Super Bowl concert featuring such iconic symphonic band classics as William Schuman’s “George Washington Bridge”, Charles Ives’ “Variations on ‘America'” and Aaron Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait.” A special guest appearance by Massachusetts State Senator Michael Rodrigues will cap off the concert, as he is the featured narrator on “Lincoln Portrait.” Other selections on the program include “The President’s March” by Victor Herbert, “On Shoulders of Giants” by Andrew David Perkins, “Armed Forces Salute” by Bob Lowden and three pieces by John Philip Sousa: “Presidential Polonaise”, “President Garfield’s Inauguration March” and “The Stars and Stripes Forever.”
The concert will be held at the Our Lady of Light Band Banquet Hall, 664 Quarry Street, Fall River. Adult tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door. Children aged 12 and under admitted free. Tickets may be purchased in advance at The Symphony Music Shop in Dartmouth, The Marion General Store in Marion or online at tricountysymphonicband.org
