Commemorating the 125th Birthday of Aaron Copland on November 14, 2025

Senate Resolution J 528 commemorates the 125th birthday of composer Aaron Copland on November 14, 2025, as a symbolic tribute to his contributions to American music and culture. It does not create any new laws or affect individuals, but formally recognizes Copland's legacy through a legislative acknowledgment. The resolution directs the Senate to observe the occasion and send a copy to Copland House in Cortlandt Manor, New York, which preserves his home and serves as a cultural center. This ceremonial measure honors Copland's iconic works like *Appalachian Spring* and *Fanfare for the Common Man* without implementing policy changes.
