LCS kicks off our 40th anniversary season with a stunning concert of pure American music; music that shaped our nation, tested our resolve, lifted our spirits and sang of our diversity. Relive the birth of our independence with hits from the musical 1776. Songs of the American Revolution and an electrifying medley of from the Broadway sensation Hamilton echo our nation’s defiance and determination. Thrilling renditions of When Johnny Comes Marching Home, Battle Hymn of The Republic, and selections from Frank Wildhorn’s The Civil War recall darker days in our history. This eclectic program includes songs that became popular during the war years, folk tunes, and classics from the 60’s and 70’s. A patriotic medley with Salute To The Armed Forces, Dan Forrest’s moving Goodnight, Dear Heart, and John William’s America: And The Dream Goes On offers a stirring tribute honoring the service and sacrifice of those who fought to secure our freedom.
