Summer wouldn’t have the same sizzle without a patriotic concert by your Space Coast Symphony Orchestra.  Aaron directs the wind orchestra in Let Freedom Ring with music by Gorb, Thomas, Rodgers, Greenwood, and marches from “The March King,” John Philip Sousa.  Tenor, Aaron Odom will join the winds to sing on several selections including God Bless the USA.  The centerpiece of the program is a moving work by Omar Thomas, Come Sunday, a spiritual, joyous, and virtuosic tribute to the Hammond organ’s central role in black worship services.  The concert will also pay tribute to the late Marion Scott, a musical icon in our community with a performance of his favorite work, Wagner's Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral. The program will also feature the World Premiere of Michael Daugherty's Semper Fi, a work dedicated to the United States Marine Corps. The three movements of Daugherty's work represent different aspects of the life of a marine.  A salute to all the men and women of the United States Armed Forces punctuates this exciting and memorable concert experience.

TICKET RESERVATIONS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE.  YOU MAY SHOW UP AT CONCERT AND WE WILL ALLOW ALL OVERFLOW IN 10 MINS PRIOR TO THE CONCERT.
