Arcadia Symphony will present “America Celebrates 250” on June 30, 2026 at Carnegie Hall‘s Stern Auditorium, conducted by Music Director Michael Fennelly.

The program centers on the world premiere of “You Are My Rhapsody in Blue,” Fennelly’s completion of an unfinished Gershwin setting for solo piano, orchestra, and symphonic chorus, alongside Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait,” Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes,” Kern’s “Old Man River,” and Aldo Finzi’s “Salmo.”

Vocal soloists for Beethoven’s Ninth include soprano Megan Weston, mezzo-soprano Samarie Alicea, tenor Jeremy Brauner, and bass Denis Sedov. The Arcadian Symphony Chorus and the Arcadian Youth Symphony will also perform.

The concert kicks off at 8 p.m. local time.
