Illinois Symphony Orchestra’s The Lincoln Train Concert 

Illinois Premiere of The Lonesome Train

Celebrate the life of Abraham Lincoln in Earl Robinson’s The Lonesome Train, a musical illustration of Lincoln’s Funeral Train.

Ride the rails with Honegger’s masterful depiction of a steam train in Pacific 231, Copland’s spike-driving John Henry, and George Gershwin’s beloved Suite from Porgy and Bess.

An event not to be missed as part of the 2015 Lincoln Funeral Coalition re-enactment commemoration!
