Welcome to Season 73 of the Beaver Dam Area Orchestra! Join us as we continue celebrating the United States’ 250th birthday with a new concert of music honoring America and its most cherished composers. You will enjoy an inspiring rendition of America the Beautiful, Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man and Variations on a Shaker Melody, and Morton Gould’s American Salute. The orchestra is also excited to feature concertmaster Lakeisha Heeringa with a fiddle solo during Frontier Fancies.
