MusicUNTOLD will revisit the 2009 performance of American Composer Roy Harris' 
"Bicentennial Symphony" on Abraham Lincoln's birthday Feb. 12, 2021. The 2009 performance by community and college players is the only known recording of the symphony. In addition to the Feb. 12, 2021 1:00 PM PST broadcast at KLBP 99.1 (Long Beach, Ca. Public Radio), the audio and video version will be available via MusicUNTOLD website  https://musicuntold.com/index.php/bicentennial-symphony-february-12-2021-broadcast/ and MusicUNTOLD YouTube channel  https://www.youtube.com/MusicUNTOLD. The 1st professional performance since the 1976 premiere at the Kennedy Center by the National Symphony Orchestra was scheduled for June 29, 2020 but cancelled due to Covid 19 restrictions. MusicUNTOLD is hopeful of a rescheduled summer 2021 AFM Union performance date.
