In the grand tradition of music on the lawn, the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra offers its 25th annual free Independence Day concert at World Fair Park. The concert will begin at 8 p.m. on Saturday, July 4 on the South Lawn and will be followed by a fireworks display.
Music for the evening will include The Star Spangled Banner, John Williams' Overture to the Cowboys, selections from The Sound of Music, the traditional Salute to the Armed Forces, Richman's A Time for Heroes, Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture and more. The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra will welcome guest conductor and KSO principal tubist Sande MacMorran to the stage to conduct Copland's Hoedown and Rodeo. MacMorran conducted the orchestra at the KSO's first Independence Day concert 25 years ago. The concert will conclude with Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever and a spectacular 20-minute fireworks display.
