The HHSO Chorus proudly joins the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra for Celebrate America!, the Symphony Under the Stars concert on April 7. This unforgettable evening honors our nation’s spirit with a powerful program of patriotic favorites and cherished anthems, including “America the Beautiful,” “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” and rousing marches by John Philip Sousa.

Broadway stars Michael Maliakel (Aladdin) and Alysha Umphress lend their voices to an inspiring lineup of orchestral and vocal works by Aaron Copland, John Williams, and Sousa, culminating in the moving Armed Forces Salute—a special tribute recognizing the service and sacrifice of our active-duty military, veterans, and their families.

Free lawn seating – bring a blanket or chair, a picnic, and enjoy the HHSO and JMR al fresco.
