The North Carolina Symphony’s America 250 season continues with a vibrant mosaic of North American sound—Chávez and Copland reflect a dynamic blend of cultural memory and modern expression. Together, they deepen the season’s exploration of how composers across the continent have shaped and reimagined the American musical voice.
