Are you in need of a change of scenery?

The Quincy Symphony Orchestra's American Horizons Concert is your ticket to a world of imagination, excitement, and creativity.

Join us at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, April 12 for an afternoon of relaxation and grand music!

American Horizons is a salute to American composers, including regional composers Jeremy Beck, James Romig, Randall Faust, and the incomparable Aaron Copland.

Music by Copland includes selections from The Tender Land Suite with gorgeous photos showcasing the beauty and nostalgia of our area from Quincy’s Toni Taylor/Tiger Imagery.

St. Louis Symphony Principal Horn Thomas Jöstlein performs Faust’s Concerto for Horn, newly re-scored for horn and orchestra.

Beck’s “Majestic River” was composed for the QSO’s 60^th Anniversary celebration in 2007. We continue our commitment to the production of new music with the premiere of our commission by James Romig, Western Illinois University.

An art exhibit and sale by the QSOA’s season artist Caroline Goldsmith will be held in the lobby.
