Bravo! Vail - Patriotic Concert

Bravo! Vail – Patriotic Concert is a soaring celebration of American spirit, presented by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra under the masterful baton of Jeff Tyzik. The program brings together world‑class vocalists Shayna Steele, Crystal Monee Hall, and Kelly LeVesque, violin virtuoso Alexander Kerr, and the extraordinary narrator Melissa Stockwell—a retired Army officer, Purple Heart recipient, and four‑time Paralympian—who shares touching stories of courage and perseverance. The evening opens with John Williams’ exuberant **Liberty Fanfare**, followed by John Philip Sousa’s iconic **Liberty Bell March**. Audiences then journey through Aaron Copland’s energetic **“Hoe‑Down” from Rodeo**, Mark O’Connor’s spirited **Strings & Threads**, and Williams’ spirited **Overture To The Cowboys**. Jeff Tyzik’s arrangements add fresh flair with Raye/Prince’s **“Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,”** the Ray‑Charles version of **America,** and the timeless **We Are Family** (Edwards/Rodgers). Tyrzik’s own **Majestic Mountains** and Sousa’s martial **Semper Fidelis** further heighten the patriotic salvo. In a masterful montage, John Williams returns with **“The Patriot”** from *The Patriot*, **“With Malice Toward None”** from *Lincoln*, and the stirring **The Olympic Spirit (Summon The Heroes)**. The finale showcases James Beckel, Jr.’s **Gardens Of Stone** (arr. Tyzik), an **Armed Forces Song Medley**, and Sousa’s enduring **The Stars And Stripes Forever**. Every moment is designed to inspire, honor, and unite. Experience the event on the verdant lawns of Vail with a breathtaking screen, and let the music move you in a unique concert‑film setting.
