The 560 Music Center is unavailable due to maintenance. Our third and fourth concerts will take place at 4:00pm Sundays, July 20 and 27 in the sanctuary of Manchester United Methodist Church, which offers plenty of parking.
Discover the magic of music with the Gateway Festival Orchestra’s concert “With a Norwegian Accent” on Sunday, July 20, at 4 PM. Join us at Manchester United Methodist Church for a lively, family-friendly afternoon filled with beautiful melodies and stories from Norway.
Led by Associate Conductor Dr. Leon Burke III, the program features stunning pieces like Rossini’s “Largo al factotum,” Grieg’s “Peer Gynt” excerpts, and Tchaikovsky’s “Prince Yeletzky’s Aria.” Highlighting the concert is a spectacular performance by baritone Antonio Watts, singing the Toreador Song from Carmen.
After a short intermission, enjoy Grieg’s heartfelt Piano Concerto performed by Thomas Pandolfi, and end with Sibelius’ inspiring “Finlandia.” This free concert is perfect for all ages—families, classical music fans, or anyone eager for a cultural adventure.
Bring your children, sit back, and let the music take you on a journey from Europe's fjords to Finland’s landscapes. No tickets or reservations needed—just come and enjoy an afternoon of uplifting symphonic magic.
