Feb. 9, 2014 - With his touching and patriotic contribution to the war effort during World War II, Letter from Home, Aaron Copland evokes the strong emotions that are often experienced when a soldier receives a letter from loved ones back home. More than half a century later, Kevin Puts was inspired to create the opening music of his Clarinet Concerto after viewing a documentary on Arlington National Cemetery’s Section 60. It is a work he likens to a “book of memories,” and will feature clarinet soloist Gunnery Sgt. Michelle Urzynicok.

The concert is free and open to the public.
