Patriotic Music Concert (Wing Liu)
As Independence Day approaches, a number of patriotic events are scheduled leading up to the holiday in and around the Charlotte area.
Charlotte Symphony “Summer Pops” Series – The remaining performances in this series include “That’s Amore!” on June 28, and “Celebrate America” on July 3 sponsored by Fifth Third Bank. The concerts are outdoors and take place at Symphony Park in SouthPark and include preludes beginning at 7:00 PM followed by the orchestra at around 8:15 PM. The “Celebrate America” concert on July 3 is one of the symphony’s most popular of the entire year. It includes many patriotic favorites from a variety of styles and culminates in an impressive fireworks display. Location: Symphony Park at SouthPark, 4400 Sharon Road (behind the mall), Charlotte, NC 28211. Other concerts in the Summer Pops series at other venues include June 26 at Belle Johnston Park in Pineville, June 27 at Bailey Road Park in Cornelius, and July 2 at Village Park in Kannapolis.
Hickory Grove Baptist Church – The choir and orchestra of Hickory Grove Baptist Church will present “Celebrate America” on Sunday, June 28 at 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM. The program is an interactive presentation featuring familiar and inspirational patriotic music by the choir, orchestra, and soloists, honoring the men and women serving in our local community, across the nation, and overseas. Admission price is two canned goods, but attendees can pick up their free tickets prior to or at the event. Location: 6050 Hickory Grove Road, Charlotte, NC 28215.
Finally, for those planning to stay at home on July 4th, but who still might like to view a patriotic concert, there are a number of televised broadcasts that will occur. In particular, the patriotic program "A Capitol Fourth" will be broadcast live from the nation's capitol in Washington, D.C., and another patriotic program, "Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular," will be broadcast live by the Boston Pops Orchestra from the Esplanade on the Charles River in Boston, Massachusetts. These are both very professionally done and quite popular, and they are typically broadcast live during the evening of the fourth of July.
