The fall concert will open the new season with Bernstein’s Overture to Candide.
Other music by innovative American composers to be performed includes Chester Overture by William Schuman (based on a Revolutionary War hymn by early American composer William Billings), Vincent Persichetti’s Divertimento for Band, Charles Ives’ Fugue in C, and the tone poem October by the contemporary composer Eric Whitacre.
