A New American Frontier
Though the title of the Kettle Moraine Symphony’s next concert is “A New American Frontier,” the music is classic Americana, and that on the lighter side of things. No difficult listening here, to be sure, as the orchestra plays Leroy Anderson miniatures such as Bugler’s Holiday and Clarinet Candy. Works by Aaron Copland and John Williams also appear on the program. There will also be a performance by Elizabeth Rhinehart—winner of the senior division of the Moraine Area Private Music Teacher Organization’s annual concerto competition. Sunday, March 4, at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, 1044 S. Silverbrook Drive, West Bend. For tickets, call 262-334-3469 or visit kmsymphony.org.
