American Road Trip: Songs from Every Mile - Mesa

Embark on a musical journey across the heart of America with the Orpheus Male Chorus of Phoenix as your guide. American Roadtrip: Songs from Every Mile travels through the landscapes, histories, and voices that shape our national identity—from mountain valleys and winding highways to city streets and open plains.

This vibrant program brings together patriotic anthems, traditional folk songs, spirituals, and iconic American classics, tracing both the physical roads we travel and the emotional journeys we share.
