MARQUETTE, Mich. (WZMQ) – The Marquette Symphony Orchestra (MSO) is bringing this year’s free Summer POPS! concert to the heart of downtown Marquette.
On Thursday, at 7:30 p.m., in the Marquette Commons, the orchestra will feature its ‘Wild, Wild West‘ show, with music based around 60’s western films, as well as an arrangement of patriotic themes.
As its band shell is under construction at Presque Isle this summer, the band has decided to center the annual concert within the community.
“We have been doing the concerts in different locations, usually at Presque Isle, but this year, we decided to do it here to bring everything closer to the community,” said Octavio Más-Arocas, director of the Marquette Symphony Orchestra. “I think that this is a beautiful space, and it will be a wonderful evening for everyone.”
The concert is free, but donations are always accepted. MSO encourages the community to bring out the snacks, drinks, and the whole family.
