| ‘Fireworks Blast’ by Petr Kratochvil |
In this issue of “Musical Notes”, we celebrate the Independence Day holiday with our top picks from around the nation for concerts that include fireworks.
Depending on where in the nation you are located, some of the finest orchestras will pay tribute to our country’s birth with the best family entertainment around.
Nothing goes better with a grand fireworks display than a full symphony orchestra playing everything from the traditional John Philip Sousa marches, to Tchaikovsky's stirring 1812 Overture accompanied by a dazzling light display. It’s an outing that children will remember for a lifetime.
Some of the programs are offered free, and most are set on wide public expanses that allow for picnicking.
Certain shows will actually be performed on alternative dates other than July 4th so check the list that follows and find the city or symphony nearest you; click on the link for informative details of the concert that is being offered, and make your plans for a spectacular Independence Day.
Should the weather not cooperate in your area, there is always the option of tuning in to the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) annual presentation of the A Capitol Fourth, which is broadcast live on July 4th at 8:00 p.m. EDT / 7:00 p.m. CDT and recorded for rebroadcast on other markets. It’s a spectacular must-see presentation brought to you from our nation’s capital. Check here to find your local PBS station.
Happy Birthday America!
