This is the eighth annual Memorial Day concert by this outstanding group of professional musicians from Hanscom Air Force Base. And the concert promises to appeal to all musical tastes, with a set list ranging from classics to pop.  

"We really enjoy hosting our next-door neighbors from Hanscom,” said Park Superintendent Nancy Nelson. “This event has been growing in popularity -- last
year was the biggest audience we've ever had.  It has become a tradition
and we are glad that the Band of Liberty always reserves Memorial Day for
us."

The program will feature everything from an operatic overture by Guiseppe Verdi to Patriotic music to a unique “ Concerto for Cell Phone."
