The San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Maestro Anthony Parnther, will present their annual concert under the stars with fireworks on Saturday, June 20, at 8:00 p.m. on the football field at San Bernardino Valley College.
“Our annual summer concert has now become a community staple and welcomes our largest crowd of the year,” said Maestro Parnther. “It’s great to see so many people from throughout the Inland Empire joined together as we celebrate America and put on this spectacular show!”
The Symphony will perform a variety of favorite music from Broadway and the American Songbook, as well as traditional patriotic fare and a few special surprises in “America, the Beautiful.” This year, members of the San Bernardino Symphony Youth Orchestra and Overture Orchestra will also perform at the start of the event, which will culminate in Tchaikovsky’s bombastic “1812 Overture” performed to a fantastic fireworks display.
And remember the world record breaking piccolo performance in 2024? They will try to break their record of 192 piccolo players from all over the state who performed John Phillip Sousa’s “The Stars and Stripes Forever.”
