As most of you know, I am a cellist in the Des Moines Symphony, and I will be performing with them for the Yankee Doodle Pops on Wednesday, July 3rd, at 8:30 PM on the Iowa State Capitol grounds. This is a free performance, and please feel free to bring food and lawn chairs. It will also be broadcast on Iowa PBS and Iowa Public Radio Classical including a re-run on July 4th at 8:30 PM. Vocalist Hugh Panaro will be joining us, and here is a link with details: https://www.dmsymphony.org/concerts-events/yankee-doodle-pops-2/. This is one of the few times one can see the orchestra in person for free, and I hope that you all can come or tune in.
There is also a viewing party offered at the State Historical Building, and here is a link with details about this: https://www.dmsymphony.org/concerts-events/viewing-party-for-yankee-doodle-pops/.
