Free Music, Real Impact
🎼 Visitors to Pops in the Park should expect to experience classical music, pieces from Broadway and Hollywood, and high-energy symphonic hits that will get the body moving and feet tapping. The concert opens with a performance by Annapolis Symphony Academy (ASA) Orion Youth Orchestra and Aries Youth Chamber Orchestra performing under the baton of Heather Haughn, Chair of the ASA Strings Department. Ms. Haughn always presents fun and innovative programming that especially appeals to young people in the crowd, like last year’s audience-wide choreographed dance with The Talent Machine, Inc. to Michael Jackson’s Thriller. What will Mrs. Haughn present this year? You’ll have to come to find out!
Maestro Novo continues the excitement, including fun surprises like showcasing his talent on the harmonica alongside the orchestra. The powerful sound of 70+ professional musicians reverberating across the parks and over the Chesapeake is something not to be missed!
