Pops! comes to the Flathead Valley
June 30, 2009
Fill up a picnic basket, grab the kids and your friends and load up
the car with the lawn chairs for an evening of light classical music under
the spectacular Montana sky. The, Saturday, July 11 event is the annual
outdoor Symphony Pops at Rebecca Farm concert presented by Glacier
Symphony and Chorale. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. and admission is $20 per car
so the more the merrier.
Maestro John Zoltek will cue the orchestra at 7:30 p.m. giving
everyone lots of time to frolic on the rolling lawn of the equestrian
center. Frisbees and lawn games are encouraged. The concert will be held
rain or shine and two large tents will be set up offering shade or shelter.
Picnic tables will be placed in and around the tents and available on a
first come first served basis.
Beer and wine will be available to purchase and food vendors will
offer a variety of fare ranging from tacos to ice cream.
This concert is becoming a very popular summer event that brings
families and friends together in a relaxed atmosphere to experience our
skillful and entertaining musicians, comments Alan Satterlee, GSC Executive
Director.
Music Director John Zoltek has chosen a concert repertoire that
will appeal to a range of musical tastes. Selections from movie scores such
as Raiders of the Lost Arc Pirates of the Caribbean, South Pacific
Medley Schindler's List, and James Bond along with patriotic favorites
such as American Salute and Stars and Stripes Forever and classical
works such as the finale from Dvorak's 9th Symphony From the New World,
and Rossini's William Tell Overture will keep toes tappin.'
This summer's pops concert will be lots of fun and full of musical
surprises. The program of movie music, classic favorites and
patriotic pieces will provide an engaging and inspiring soundtrack to a
beautiful Montana evening under the big sky at the wonderful Rebecca Farm. I
look forward to sharing this wonderful and exciting music with an
enthusiastic summertime picnic audience, says Zoltek
Rebecca Farm is located in the heart of the Flathead Valley. Take
Highway 93 to West Reserve, travel west through the round-about to Spring
Creek Road, turn left and follow signs to the gate on the west side of the
