The McLean Symphony's Remembering Juneteenth concert is a celebration of Black music and composers. The program includes the McLean premiere of March of Freedom by Gilbert Pryor, Danse Nègre by Samual Coleridge-Taylor, Lyric for Strings by George Walker, and additional pieces by Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, and moving spirituals and songs selected to underscore the haunting memories now associated with Juneteenth. We are pleased to also invite, to the stage, Bryan Jackson, Baritone, New World Order Horns (NWO), with Lenny Harris on saxophone, Wondel Brown on trombone, and trumpet and composer, Gilbert Pryor.
