OFAM 2023 Summer - August 2-12, 2023
If Only In My Dreams
America at War, 1941-45
Within days of Japan’s December 7, 1941 attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, a diverse, often contentious, and isolationist-leaning nation still in the depths of the Great Depression came together in united purpose and finally entered the global war. The singularity, universality and effectiveness of that resolve — a national spirit in the face of adversity that was unusual, before or since, in its blend of quiet determination, good will, and hope — is legendary. This August, Festival music director Chuck Redd and company celebrates the role that popular entertainment played during World War II in capturing and nurturing this spirit. Join us!
