One of only three professional ragtime orchestras in the United States, R4 is praised for their infectious enthusiasm, energetic performances, and meticulous musicianship. The Veterans Day Concert will showcase early 19th-century Americana popular music, including ragtime, blues, and patriotic marches. The program will also feature the “Armed Services Salute,” a musical tribute honoring each branch of the military. Adding a deeply personal dimension to the evening, Letters at the Front will bring to life the words exchanged between soldiers on the front lines and loved ones waiting for them back home, with readings by Amy Slupe and Josh Smith. Guests are invited to arrive early and explore a special military display presented by the Tecumseh Historical Museum in the TCA lobby, beginning one hour before the concert.  This community event is FREE and open to all. Join us for an inspiring evening of music, history, and heartfelt gratitude as we come together to celebrate our veterans.
