Overview
Star-Spangled Celebration (Boordy Vineyards)
Celebrate the originality and independence of America’s greatest composers! From the jazzy high life captured by George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein to the epic film scores of Aaron Copland and John Williams, the American sound is lively and limitless. Valerie Coleman’s anthem for essential workers and a new spin on patriotism by BSO Artistic Partner, and hip-hop spoken word artist Wordsmith update the national tradition for the 21st century. Like the flag that once flew over Baltimore’s harbor and inspired The Star-Spangled Banner, this big and bold music is a declaration of freedom.
Purchase a bottle and sip on Boordy’s original wines while you enjoy the orchestra. This is a family friendly event. This is an outdoor, general admission event. Free parking is available on-site. Please note that there will not be fireworks following this performance. Tickets are required.
