As part of the celebration of Maestro Keith Lockhart’s 30^th anniversary as the conductor and music director of the Boston Pops, Ahrens + Flaherty have created a new concert piece for orchestra, chorus and narrator.

Titled FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA, the piece is about the life and words of Katherine Lee Bates, the Massachusetts poet who created the words for “America The Beautiful.” The symphonic orchestration is by William Elliott, with choral composition by Stephen.

Featuring a film that accompanies the live performance by documentarian John De Graff (who co-created the text with Lynn), this will be a very unique evening.

The piece premieres at Symphony Hall in Boston on June 5 and June 6, 2025, with an encore performance at Tanglewood on August 22, 2025.

This piece will be available for future performances through Wise Music Group.
