Cal Phil Presents Cowboys and Copland

Saturday, July 12, 2014

Cowboys & Copland is a salute to the wild west with music from screen classic including The Magnificent Seven, How The West Was Won, The Good and The Bad and The Ugly, plus Copland’s Billy The Kid and Rodeo—music that set the tone of the west in music for the concert hall, stage and screen. And for good measure, there will be a musical detour south of the border to El Salón México. Copland’s patriotic masterpiece Lincoln Portrait—with a special guest narrator—rounds out the program, proving America never sounded so good.
