Commissioned by the Kennedy Center, the work's premiere is featured on the opening concert of "The Presidency of John F. Kennedy: A 50th Anniversary Celebration" on the anniversary of the 35th president's inauguration.
Less than a month before his death, President Kennedy said, "I look forward to an America which will reward achievement in the arts as we reward achievement in business or statecraft. I look forward to an America which will steadily raise the standards of artistic accomplishment and which will steadily enlarge cultural opportunities for all of our citizens. And I look forward to an America which commands respect throughout the world not only for its strength but for its civilization as well."
