The concert will also feature selections from the movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou?,” John Philip Sousa’s “The Thunderer March” and selections from Rogers and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music.
“We wanted to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this award-winning movie,” added Havely. “It is certainly a favorite and has so many important numbers in the American songbook.”
