John Philip Sousa earned the title “The March King” for his prolific work that in many ways defined the sound of American patriotism at the end of the 19th and dawn of the 20th centuries. While at home in military parades, marches are a rarity in the concert hall. Alongside four Sousa marches, Dudamel will conduct four brand new musical responses to Sousa written by leading American composers: Saad Haddad, Viet Cuong, Jonathan Bailey Holland, and Clarice Assad.
