The Salina Symphony will perform an outdoor D-Day commemorative concert at the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum on Saturday,
June 2, at 8 p.m. Visitors are invited to bring their lawn chairs and enjoy the “Symphony at Sunset.” There is no admission fee; however, donations are welcome.
The first half of the concert will showcase popular classics, including “Symphonic Dances” from West Side Story, and will transition to a series of patriotic favorites as a tribute to Eisenhower and our veterans.
Food vendors will be available for dinner, so plan to come early and picnic! The Blades will perform from 5:30-7:30 p.m., providing entertainment for those who arrive early. The nine-piece band features great vocals, horns and keyboard while performing the sounds of the ‘60s through the ‘90s.
Also prior to the concert, a “Meet and Greet” reception with Ken Hakoda, Symphony music director and conductor, will be held in the Library from 6:30-7:30 p.m. The cost is $20/person. For reservations, call 785-263-6700 by Thursday, May 24.
The Symphony at Sunset program will be an annual event scheduled the first Saturday in June of each year. This date was selected to commemorate D-Day and honor our veterans. Additional details may be found online at www.salinasymphony.org
