Description
Celebrate Independence Day with the Firebird Pops Orchestra!
*Rain or Shine.
Performance: 6:30 pm / Doors: 6:00 pm.
Celebrate Independence Day weekend with a moving musical journey across the American landscape—from its Indigenous roots to the many cultures that have shaped its sound. Set against the backdrop of the Atlantic at the historic Hammond Castle Museum, this outdoor performance features a rich blend of The Firebird Pops strings and brass, led by conductor Brendan J. Kenney.
The program includes a special appearance by Elke Jahns-Harms, making her Firebird debut on Native American flutes. Returning vocalists Fred C. VanNess, Jr., and Mara Bonde join us once again to bring powerful and poignant selections to life.
Enjoy this celebration of heritage, unity, and freedom, right by the sea.
