Symphony in the Flint Hills Finds Fort Riley Home
The Symphony in the Flint Hills, drawing more than 5000 attendees, performed on Fort Riley’s historic limestone campus two days after the U S Army’s 238th birthday. Assistant conductor Aram Demirjian led, with works by John Williams and Copland evoking the landscape and history. The event drew Gov. Sam Brownback and Senators Roberts and Moran, and featured volunteers, tents, hay bales, and a finale of Home on the Range.
