The U.S. Coast Guard Band’s latest concert will celebrate “great American accomplishment and hope for the new year.”

The show, which takes place on Sunday afternoon, features Aaron Copland’s “The Promise of Living.” The piece is from Copland’s opera “The Tender Land,” which is about the Midwest. Leading into that will be Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait.” Anthony Nolan, who is a state representative from the 39th District, will guest as the narrator for “Lincoln Portrait.”

Director of the Coast Guard Band Commander Adam Williamson conducts the band in a program that also includes: Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s “Othello Suite,” Florence Price’s “Adoration,” Elain M. Ross’s “My Voice,” and Duke Ellington’s “Come Sunday,” featuring alto saxophone soloist Musician 1st Class Tyler Wilkins.
