As summer heats up, musicians are tuning up for special performances.
Throughout July, Market Square Concerts will present its Summermusic series with a special emphasis on American musical contributions for the country’s 250th birthday.
First up, on Sunday, July 12 at 4 p.m., Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra’s principal trumpet, Kevin Gebo, with friends, will present a program of chamber music for brass quintet, ranging from Handel to John Williams.
Days later, Arthur Foote’s grand piano quintet will play with Dvořák’s “American” String Quintet, featuring Stuart Malina at the piano, violinists Peter Sirotin and Claudia Chudacoff, violists Elias Goldstein and Hannah Rose Nicholas, as well as cellist Juian Schwarz, on July 15 at 7:30 p.m.
On Sunday, July 19, the festival will present an evening of song, starting at 4 p.m., featuring award-winning tenor Curtis Bannister with pianist Mark Markham in a program exploring the Swedish cultural concept Jantelagen, which symbolizes collective unity and humility over praise of the individual.
All concerts will take place at Market Square Presbyterian Church, 20 S. 2nd St., Harrisburg.
Parking in the garage adjacent to the church is free, validated with a license plate number by a staff member. Tickets are $35, $30 for seniors, $5 for college students and free for school-age students with a $10 ticket available for one accompanying adult.
