Bring your blankets, lawn chairs and picnic baskets to the gazebo on the center island in Lafreniere Park, 3000 Downs Boulevard, and enjoy the glorious sounds of live music during the LPO's first free outdoor concert in this beautiful green oasis! The LPO will serenade listeners with a selection of well-known and well-loved orchestral works including John Williams' famous movie music from Star Wars and E.T., as well as a medley from Richard Rodgers' The Sound of Music. The evening will close with Tchaikovsky's rousing 1812 Overture, and while you won't see any actual cannons in the park, you will hear their sounds, thanks to modern technology, in this stirring conclusion to a wonderful, family-friendly musical evening.
