Linnaea Brophy, violin

American composers have enriched the symphonic repertoire with their unique voices and innovative ideas. We are delighted to invite you to experience an enchanting selection of works from this tradition, featuring compositions by Copland, Ellington, Price, and Gershwin. Each piece reflects the diverse musical landscape of America, showcasing a range of styles and influences.

For Lukas Foss’s charming “Three American Pieces,” the GSO is excited to bring back to our stage violinist Linnaea Brophy, the winner of our 2002 Young Artist concerto competition winner. Ms. Brophy, originally from Memphis, is now with the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra while a rising doctoral candidate at Stony Brook University, and a member of the Anello String Quartet.

As we celebrate 250 years of American music, come and immerse yourself in the sounds of our nation's creative spirit. ​
