Concert includes sounds of symphony outdoors

Enjoy a summer picnic and concert when the Glacier Symphony presents “Symphony Night at the Farm” on Saturday, July 7.

Held on the rolling grounds of Rebecca Farm in Kalispell the gates will open at 5:30 p.m. allowing patrons plenty of time to picnic.

Maestro John Zoltek will cue the Glacier Symphony at 7:30 p.m. with a concert of light classical and pops music. Such favorites as The Blue Danube Waltz, Light Cavalry Overture, movie scores from “Lord of the Rings,” “Dances with Wolves,” “The Cowboys,” and “West Side Story” and finales from Dvorak’s New World Symphony plus the ever-popular 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky and more will harmonize a summer evening sunset!
