Cue the violins and the waterfront views! Spend an enchanting evening under the stars as the Virginia Symphony Orchestra fills the Yorktown air with music and magic.
Discover the vast range of the orchestra, under the direction of Conductor Adam Turner, in a program that unites timeless composers and favorite hit scores! Soar across the skies with “Flying Theme” from John Williams’ score for 𝐸.𝑇., cross the threshold into the “Hall of the Mountain King” with 𝑃𝑒𝑒𝑟 𝐺𝑦𝑛𝑡, or sweep down the plains with tunes from Rodger & Hammerstein’s 𝑂𝑘𝑙𝑎ℎ𝑜𝑚𝑎. From thrilling adventures to unforgettable melodies, every piece reveals another color of the VSO.
Pack a picnic, bring a cozy blanket, and enjoy a night of breathtaking performances. The Fifes & Drums of York Town will open the show at 6 p.m., setting the perfect patriotic tone for this cherished annual concert, which officially begins at 7:30 p.m.
This free concert is presented by the Celebrate Yorktown Committee of the Yorktown Foundation with generous support from York County, York County Arts Commission, and the Virginia Commission for the Arts, as well as community contributors from organizations, businesses, and individuals. The volunteer-run Celebrate Yorktown Committee works diligently to raise the money needed to cover the costs of this special evening.
