PROGRAM
DESCRIPTION
The RPO returns to CMAC for the first time since 2021. Fans will celebrate America’s birthday with the RPO and enjoy stirring Sousa spectaculars, favorite toe-tappers, and inspiring anthems as the orchestra performs favorite red, white and blue melodies complete with fireworks! Red, White & Boom! should provide blasts from the past for the many loyal RPO audience members who made the orchestra’s patriotic celebrations in Canandaigua a summer tradition.
CMAC Executive Director Sarah Axelrod said there’s nostalgia and excitement on CMAC’s end, as well. “We’re proud to continue our long-standing relationship with the RPO, which dates back to 1983,” she commented. “This year’s Red, White & Boom! collaboration blends the magic of orchestral music with the unique energy of CMAC, creating a truly spectacular night for our community.”
RPO Guest Conductor Matthew Kraemer is at the podium with a special appearance by acclaimed New York-based singer-songwriter Kelly Levesque who last performed with the RPO in our 24/25 Pops Season Opener Disco Divas. Stick around for the big end-of-concert fireworks display.
