"This is our favorite night of the year! We love giving back to our community with this free family concert, thanks to our generous sponsors," said Jamie LaFreniere, Executive Director of the Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra. "This year is even more exciting as it is the first concert with our new Music Director Kevin Sütterlin!" 

This year's program will feature Beethoven, of course, some marches, and a very popular theme song from one of your favorite TV shows.   The MacDowell Male Chorus and the Fox Valleyaires will also perform.   Be ready for some flair in the second half of the show with solos from violin, electric guitar, and saxophone with special guest Russell Peterson.

"This is a special opportunity for kids and adults of all ages to come together in a fun, family-friendly venue to experience symphonic music," said Tammy Geenen, vice president of Community Engagement for the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region. "For many, this is a first-time chance to listen to our incredibly talented local symphony musicians. It warms your heart to see so many children in the crowd and everyone clapping along together to the patriotic songs. It's a wonderful evening for our community!"
