Kicking off 2026 and the “Festival of American Voices,” this concert presents a vivid survey of American classical music, highlighting voices from different cultural backgrounds. From the rhythmic energy of Chokfi’ by Chickasaw composer Jerod Tate to Florence Price’s evocative Mississippi River Suite, which weaves together spirituals into symphonic form, the program reflects the richness of American heritage. Aaron Copland’s Four Dance Episodes from Rodeo, with its iconic “Hoe-Down,” captures the spirit of the American West, while a new work by composer Peter B. Kay adds a fresh local perspective. Together, these pieces create a musical patchwork celebrating the diversity and depth of American artistry. Presented by the Spartanburg Philharmonic.

From innovative new compositions to pieces that reflect the unique cultural tapestry of the Upstate, “Locally Sourced” is a tribute to the power of local artistry. Join us for an evening of connection, creativity, and pride in the sounds of Spartanburg.
