Sunsets Set to Symphony

Going to a classical music concert doesn't have to put you to sleep, and it doesn't have to break the bank either.

West Michigan Symphony
is setting out to prove both of these points next month with their free outdoor summer concert. One of the few professional regional orchestras in the area, WMS is presenting this free concert in efforts to bring classical music to more diverse audiences in West Michigan.

The concert begins at 7 p.m. , so the evening's sunset will be set to the sounds of famous composers such as Copland, Brahms and Tchaikovsky. Kid-friendly songs will also be woven into the mix, with choices like the "Harry Potter Symphonic Suite" and selections from the Phantom of the Opera to hold their attention.

This free concert will take place at Heritage Landing in downtown Muskegon on Saturday, August 29th, and pre-concert events (including the WMS Instrument Petting Zoo) will start at 5:30 p.m.
