AN AMERICAN PORTRAIT celebrates two centuries of American milestones as our country’s story is told through he songs that united and inspired its people. Listen to the joy of America awakening to a newfound independence; the laments that expressed our pain; the battle cries that tore us apart; the inspirational songs that reconciled us. Visit our nation’s diverse regions through the music that captures their essence, and finally regale in pure patriotism as America’s most beloved anthems are performed with eloquence and majesty.
A stirring, evocative homage to our homeland that comes alive through the legendary pianism of Mac Frampton and the powerful voices of Sam Hagan and Dawn Marie. wwww.info@alkahestartists.net
