Newark Symphonic Winds Free Summer Concert

Enjoy an evening of absolutely wonderful symphonic music provided "free-of-charge" by the Tri-Cities' own 50 musician symphony - the Newark Symphonic Winds - directed by Richard Wong.

We'll start off the evening with “The Genius of Ray Charles”, which includes such tunes as “Georgia on My Mind” as well as other favorites. We’ll then perform “Hallelujah” a lovely melodic piece by Leonard Cohen. We’ll pick up the tempo with ”Fuego del Alma” by Carl Strommen and then end the first half with a medley of the most memorable musical themes from all of the “Harry Potter” movies.

The second half of our performance will begin by featuring the wonderful music of the extremely talented Newark Woodwind Quintet. We’ll then rock you out with “The Blues Brothers Revue”. Keeping up the pace, we’ll next perform “The Devil Went Down To Georgia” by Charlie Daniels, followed by another fun tune, “Sandpaper Ballet”, featuring some of our very accomplished percussionists. We’ll end the evening with a medley of tunes from the beloved Walt Disney movie – “Mary Poppins”.

This FREE performance (no tickets are necessary) is sponsored by the Fremont Bank Foundation. For more information visit http://newarksymphonic.org or call 510-552-7186.
