The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Rose City Pride Bands is proud to present this collaborative concert and invites the audience to explore America as a living question rather than a fixed identity. Through voices both celebrated and marginalized, the music asks who has been heard, who has been silenced, and how sound itself becomes an act of belonging. Join the Rose City Symphonic Band and the Rose City Wind Symphony for an afternoon of thrilling music, including works by Michele Fernández, Aaron Copland, Omar Thomas, Viet Cuong, Giacomo Rossini, and more.
