It’s a little-known fact that the original three branches of our nation’s Armed Forces — the United States Army, the Navy, and the U.S. Marine Corps — were all founded in 1775, a year before the signing of our Declaration of Independence! Come join the expert musicians of the Wisconsin Philharmonic and its devoted, longtime Maestro, for a thrilling and profound program that celebrates this once-in-a-lifetime milestone with some of America’s greatest classical music for the occasion.
All taking place on the night before the anniversary of the D-Day Invasion, this promises to be a compact but overwhelming American music experience honoring the valiant soldiers and sailors of our American past, present and future!
