Free Concert on the Fourth of July!

What better way to celebrate the birthday of the USA than a free concert and some fireworks?

You can enjoy both as the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra and the City of Charleston present a 4th of July Concert Friday at 8:30 p.m. at the Haddad Riverfront Park "On the Levee" in downtown Charleston.

The concert features my pal (and Symphony Idol) Ryan Hardiman singing "I Need To Know" and "This Is The Moment" (from the musical Jekyll & Hyde), "Remember When It Rained" (Josh Groban) and "Music of The Night" (from Phantom of the Opera).

The program will also include music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Frank Wildhorn, Josh Groban, John Philip Sousa and John Williams. There will be a Salute to Veterans and a performance of Tchaikovsky's immortal "1812" overture.

For more information, visit the orchestra's website at wvsymphony.org.

Don't miss it!

Boy, this sounds like a great way to spend the Fourth of July. Myself, I get to help judge the Coshocton Crooner contest (local Idol style competition). It'll be fun, but I'd rather be in West Virginia.

Have a great holiday.

Denise, it does sound like fun - but the Coshocton Crooner contest could constitute a considerably cool competition... (Boy, how does Stan Lee do that?) Have a Happy Fourth o' July!
