Here's the full schedule:

The Harrisburg Symphony's Tony Award-winning Maestro, Stuart Malina, will lead the orchestra. Joining the orchestra this year as vocalist is local favorite, Diane Wilson Bedford.

The Reservoir Park concert will be followed by the city's annual spectacular Independence Day Fireworks show. The performances, along with parking at each venue, are FREE to one and all and the entire community is invited to grab their lawn chairs and a blanket and enjoy an evening of familiar, family-friendly patriotic "music under the stars."

The orchestra's appearance in Reservoir Park is being sponsored by the Dauphin County Commissioners, Faulkner Subaru, Orrstown Bank, and UPMC Pinnacle.

The Harrisburg Symphony will open its 2018-2019 concert season, the orchestra's 89th season, in October. The HSO will be offering subscriptions to both its Masterworks and Capital BlueCross Pops Series at a discount of 50% off the single ticket price at each of the summer concerts.
