AMERICAN MUSIC FESTIVALS VIRTUAL VIDEOS

Virtual Mozart

In the summer of 2020, 30 members of the Lincolnwood Chamber Orchestra recorded in their own homes the 1st Movement of Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.  Video and audio recordings came in from all over the United States and abroad. Thank you to all our wonderful musicians for participating.

Soul of America

American Music Festivals is pleased to present “Soul of America,” a virtual work composed by Philip Simmons.  Scored for string orchestra and digitally realized, the video features treasured American paintings.

“Soul of America” is inspired by the words of President Joseph Biden and the music of Aaron Copland, William Billings, and Antonin Dvorak.

Deep River with Van Gilmer

Last year in Chicago, the Lincolnwood Chamber Orchestra recently recorded and was joined virtually by vocalist Van Gilmer,
singing the famous African-American spiritual, arranged by Henry Burleigh.
