Join the Asheville Symphony for a spectacular night of music under the stars at the beloved Symphony in the Park, presented by Givens Communities and returning for its second year as part of Boomtown FestAVL!
This year’s concert features two standout guest artists. Internationally acclaimed soprano Elizabeth Baldwin – praised by the San Francisco Examiner as “ferociously talented” and winner of the 2024 American Traditions Vocal Competition – headlines the evening with a breathtaking performance of opera and Broadway classics.
The first half of the program includes a fun, family-friendly collaboration with Asheville’s own Grammy-winning hip-hop artist Secret Agent 23 Skidoo, which will delight kids and adults alike.
Bring your blanket or lawn chair and enjoy a free, joyful evening of community and music in downtown Asheville at Pack Square Park!
