A Patriotic Salute

Carl Topilow's Salute to the Armed Forces is one of his most engaging presentations. Nearing two decades, the Cleveland Pops has presented concerts with this theme, always to large and enthusiastic audiences.

Stirring music to honor America and to salute the men and women of our Armed Forces. Your chorus and choice of narrator may be added to the program.
