Akron Symphony Sets Out on Four-Week Parks Tour

While the Cleveland Orchestra has its own summer home at Blossom Music Center, the Akron Symphony piggybacks on a resource in its own backyard: the Akron parks.

Four different parks will be the sites of free outdoor concerts, featuring lighter music — light classical and pops music — than the symphony plays during its regular season: selections from West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein, music from Star Wars and Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo, and the overture to Gioachino Rossini’s The Barber of Seville.

The series opens at Firestone Park on Sun 7/29, then travels to Glendale Cemetery Sun 8/5, Hardesty Park Sun 8/12 and Goodyear Heights Metro Park Sun 8/19. All concerts are at 7:30pm.
