Fanfare for the Common Man

Pacific Symphony presents Copland’s iconic “Fanfare for the Common Man.”

One of 18 fanfares written by various American composers during the dark days of World War II to promote feelings of patriotism and national unity.

Copland wanted to honor the common man who performed his deeds of heroism not on the battlefield but on the home front.

“Alone Together” by multiple ®EMMY award-winning composer John Christopher Wineglass addresses the social issues we have all been facing during the pandemic, from not being able to perform together to systemic racial disparities.

This performance will be available for free streaming on our YouTube and Facebook channels starting at 7 p.m. (PDT) on  May 27 through June 25. Check back in on May 27 for the links.
