Newsletter May 2008
Welcome to the 2008 Music at McClellan concert season. Another
season will be upon us in no time. As in year's past our first concert
will be the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend (May 24th).
This year's opening concert will feature the Alabama Symphony
Orchestra (ASO) in Stars & Stripes Pops! It promises
to be a rousing evening in the spirit of Memorial Day weekend and the
beginning of summer.
Our second concert (May 31st) promises to be full of fun for the entire
family. In a reprise of last year's Star Wars tribute, the music of John
Williams will again be featured in a night movie music in Harry
Potter and Friends.
Our third concert on June 7th promises to be one of our most popular
yet, featuring the music of the Swedish band ABBA with
such hits as Mama Mia, Dancing Queen, Knowing Me Knowing You, and many
more. You'll be tempted to dig out the spandex and disco lights.
The season closes on June 14th with a Music at McClellan tradition; Classics
Under the Stars. If you haven't experienced the 1812 Overture
with live cannon fire from a battery Civil War era cannon, you haven't
experienced Tchaikovsky. This concert is always a memorable event.
For more details call (256) 236-2011 or (256) 782-8010.
