The concert will feature light classics, film scores and several train-themed pieces, including the premier of a new orchestration of the children's favorite "Thomas the Tank Engine," scored by Joshua Hauser, associate professor of Music.

"I love this venue, and I love to see the people of Cookeville come together for a beautiful evening of music under the stars," says Music Director Dan Allcott.

There will be activities for young people starting at 6:30 pm. The Men of St. Michael's will be selling food and drinks before the concert as well.

"We are fortunate to have friends in our community who make this concert
possible," says Gail Luna, executive director of the symphony. "It's really a sign of where we live."

The Bryan Symphony Orchestra is a collaborative effort between Tennessee
Tech and the Bryan Symphony Orchestra Association.
