Symphony of the Rockies Presents: America at 250
November 6 @ 7:30 pm
Join Symphony of the Rockies as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday and honor the veterans whose service has shaped our nation.
The evening’s centerpiece is Peter Boyer’s acclaimed Rhapsody in Red, White & Blue, performed by internationally celebrated pianist Jeffrey Biegel. Commissioned by Biegel as a companion to Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, this vibrant and uplifting work blends the energy of American popular music with the brilliance of the symphony orchestra, creating a thrilling celebration of the American spirit.
We are honored to welcome Brigadier General Kristin Goodwin, USAF (Ret.), as our special guest emcee. A decorated B-2 Stealth Bomber pilot and pioneering military leader, General Goodwin made history as the first woman in the U.S. Air Force to command a Bomb Wing. With more than 3,000 flight hours and a distinguished career spanning combat operations, strategic leadership, and the development of the U.S. Space Force, she brings an extraordinary perspective on service, courage, and leadership to this milestone celebration.
