Texas College’s Music Department, comprised of the Texas College Band and the Texas College Choir, partnered with the East Texas Symphony Orchestra (ETSO) to present The Spirit of America Concert in February. Congressman Nathaniel Moran and Mr. Aaron Dworkin, composer, served as the concert’s narrators as the unique spirit of America was celebrated through music provided by the Texas College Band, the Texas College Choir, and ETSO.
The concert surrounded the life, speeches, and writings of President George Washington and President Abraham Lincoln through the works The American Rhapsody and A Lincoln Portrait, as well as other diverse spirited selections that featured vocal and instrumental ensembles from ETSO, the Texas College Band, and the Texas College Choir. Collectively, the concert served as an avenue for the Choir and Band to proudly collaborate alongside the East Texas Symphony Orchestra for an evening of American history storytelling through phenomenal music.
