Naples Community Orchestra closes its 2027 season with American Soul. Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man opens with spacious brass and percussion. Violinist Risa Hokamura performs Barber's lyrical Violin Concerto, followed by the concentrated drama of Barber's Essay No. 2. Gershwin's An American in Paris brings the finale into the streets with jazz rhythm, blues-inflected melody, and genuine Parisian taxi horns. Saturday, April 17, 2027, at 3:00 PM at Moorings Presbyterian Church, 791 Harbour Drive, Naples. Tickets are $50. A reception follows the concert.
