“The concert is a celebration of the music of America,” says Maestro Greg Woodbridge. “In honor of the 4th of July, we will be performing patriotic favorites as well as music from the stage and screen. This year I've invited vocalist Julie Knott to sing a selection or two with us. A Harrisburg native, Julie is earning advanced degrees from the Peabody Conservatory in vocal performance. She is quickly climbing the ladder of a successful career, and we're thrilled to have her join us.”
