The Lakeshore Wind Ensemble is set to present “An American Salute – The Greatest Generation” concert, a special tribute honoring the military with an Armed Forces medley featuring service songs.
As a guest narrator, Manitowoc Mayor Justin Nickels will be at the concert to commemorate each branch of service.
The ensemble’s repertoire for the evening includes an array of pieces, such as Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, selections from the big band era, a rendition of Sound of Music by vocalist Kim Hofmann, and music from John Williams’ Hymn to the Fallen playing homage to the USS Lagarto.
Prior to the concert, a USS Lagarto remembrance ceremony will take place at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum.
Tickets for the May 4th show can be purchased at the Capitol Civic Centre Box Office or online at cccshows.org.
