American Horizons

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

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.

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

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
