Grab a blanket and join us under the stars for a night of symphonic music as the KSO returns to the Gilmore Car Museum to provide the soundtrack to your summer!
The KSO’s performance at the Gilmore Car Museum includes George Gershwin’s lively An American in Paris and soprano Rhea Olivaccé (faculty at Western Michigan University) performing Gershwin tunes like “I Got Rhythm.” Closing the program will be one of the most well-known works in orchestra repertoire, Antonín Dvořák’s luscious and dramatic Ninth Symphony, “From the New World.”
Tickets include access to the Gilmore Car Museum, which will stay open until 7 p.m. for concert-goers! Arrive early and complete your evening with a tour of the Museum's historic cars!
* In case of a rained-out performance, the new concert date will be Sunday, July 17 at 7 p.m.
