Presenting the soundtrack of our great nation, the American Festival Pops Orchestra performs a
star-spangled concert of iconic works by some of America’s greatest composers including Leroy
Anderson, Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, John Philip
Sousa, William Grant Still, Joan Tower, and John Williams. The entire family will enjoy
favorites such as Copland’s “Hoe-Down,” Bernstein’s music from West Side Story, and a medley
of classic John Williams film music from the Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Indiana Jones sagas
as well as E.T. The program also features a new orchestration of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue
by Artistic Director and Maestro Peter Wilson, featuring AnnaMaria Mottola, former White
House Marine pianist, as well as special guest performers throughout the evening including
Hylton Center Executive Director Rick Davis and Executive Board Chair Sheyna Burt. Join us as
we celebrate great American music while honoring our Heroes and Veterans.
George Mason University’s Veterans and the Arts Initiative is a proud sponsor of this
performance, providing free tickets for Veterans and Servicemembers.
Hylton Performing Arts Center is at 10960 George Mason Circle, Manassas, VA.
