Aaron Copland, Norman Rockwell, Charles Ives…..three American originals. The Wichita Symphony Orchestra pays tribute to the paintings of Rockwell. American composer Stella Sung's inspiring Rockwell Reflections is based on five of the artist's most famous paintings which will be projected on screens above the orchestra. Add in the folk and patriotic sounds of Aaron Copland and Charles Ives and this program will make all Americans proud of our cultural heritage. Presented in celebration of the Wichita Art Museum's 75th anniversary exhibit American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell.

Written by Tom Key, this “Greatest Story Ever Retold” based on the book “The Cotton Patch Version of Matthew and John” by Clarence Jordan, sets the Gospel account in rural Georgia accompanied by lively country and bluegrass music by Harry Chapin, the popular composer’s final – and perhaps best – work. As this gospel musical begins, the pulsing rhythms of “Somethin’s Brewin’ in Gainesville” leads the audience to follow Jesus and his disciples to the final showdown in Atlanta, where Herod is mayor. Inevitably, Jesus is lynched by local thugs, but that’s not the end of the story. Loved and hailed by critics, religious commentators and just plain folks in the audience, "Cotton Patch Gospel" will lift you up and give you hope.
