Oxford, AL – The Oxford Performing Arts Center (OPAC) will resonate with patriotic melodies on Friday, November 15th, as Maestro Jason Altieri and The Atlanta Pops Orchestra present a night dedicated to classic American music. This concert, a tribute to the enduring spirit of the United States, promises an evening filled with nostalgia, pride, and celebration of the country’s rich musical heritage.
The event will honor veterans and active-duty service members by taking the audience on a journey through the songs that have underscored American life and pride. As OPAC fills with iconic Americana tunes, attendees can expect to hear stirring renditions that echo the style of the United Service Organizations (USO) shows — the historic performances brought to troops in distant locations for more than 83 years.
The concert seeks to encapsulate the essence of those USO productions, which have provided comfort and connection for countless American troops stationed far from home. The Atlanta Pops will pay homage to these shows by performing music that has lifted spirits and fostered unity among both servicemen and civilians.
With selections crafted to evoke patriotic pride, the performance is set to be a memorable night for all. Those in attendance can look forward to familiar songs that capture the American experience, leaving them humming as they depart with a renewed sense of appreciation for the country and those who serve it.
