Sounds of Libery 2010!
The 2010 Sounds of Liberty concert, which serves as the prelude to the fireworks display presented by the Carrollton Area Convention and Visitors Bureau at the campus of the Carrollton City Schools on July 4, will feature a performance by the Carroll Symphony Orchestra.
The concert will take place in front of Carrollton Elementary School at 8:15pm.
The CSO, under the direction of Conductor and Music Director Terry Lowry, will perform a program of patriotic favorites by American composers. The program will begin with the raising of the flag of the Unites States by the American Legion Honor Guard during the playing of the National Anthem. The concert will feature works by Aaron Copland, Charles Ives, John Williams, John Philip Sousa and the world premiere of a new work by 18 year old Georgia composer Taylor Roland. The program will also include a salute to the Armed Forces and several patriotic sing-a-longs the entire family is sure to enjoy.
Concert organizers plan to give out over 3,000 flags for the audience to wave in time with the familiar sounds of America the Beautiful, My Country ‘Tis of Thee, God of Our Fathers, The Battle Hymn of the Republic and The Stars and Stripes Forever.
