Orchestra Lumos celebrates America’s 250^th Birthday with a concert of great American music, and the old-world composer who influenced them.

This intriguing program of extraordinary works punches above its weight.  We start with J.S. Bach who was a huge influence on old-world emigre Igor Stravinsky, and the quintessential American voices of Aaron Copland (Clarinet Concerto) and Scott Joplin (The Entertainer).  Plus we perform Barber’s lovely Adagio for Strings, and work by Connecticut’s own Charles Ives.
