Free Park Concert: Sounds of America

Celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with the Idaho Falls Symphony at our annual free Concert in the Park, part of a community-wide **Day of the Arts** in partnership with the Idaho Falls Arts Council, The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho, and the Artitorium. Throughout the day, families can enjoy a variety of free arts activities, exhibits, performances, and hands-on experiences celebrating creativity across our community. The evening concert, led by IFS Assistant Conductor **Robert Tueller**, features a festive program of patriotic favorites, Americana, and beloved orchestral classics under the summer sky. Audiences will enjoy the cinematic excitement of John Williams’ *Cowboys Overture*, Charles Ives’ spirited *Variations on America*, the heartfelt beauty of *Ashokan Farewell*, and favorite selections from Ellington or Gershwin. A special highlight of the evening will be Copland’s stirring *Lincoln Portrait*, featuring a surprise guest narrator. The concert concludes with Sousa’s iconic *Stars and Stripes Forever* in a joyful celebration of country, community, and music. Bring a blanket, gather your friends and family, and join us for this unforgettable day of arts and music celebrating America 250. This concert is free and open to the public.
