This Veterans Day Weekend concert by the South Carolina Philharmonic features music "made in America" by both native-born composers and visitors to these shores. After the National Anthem there are suites by Dvořák and William Grant Still. There's also a suite by a young contemporary composer inspired by an abstract American painter, a landmark ballet score by Aaron Copland, and rousing Americana from John Phillip Sousa and more.
