Spring Pops at Durham Central Park: Come Out and Play!

Bring a chair or blanket and join the DSO and your Durham neighbors for a FREE family afternoon of music-making and fun in Durham’s Central Park!  

At 2 PM, sample goodies from the food trucks (El Jefecito and Pelican’s Snoballs).  And enjoy some pre-show community music “jams” (Irish @ 1:15, Honky-Tonk at 2 PM), courtesy of High Strung Violins and Guitars.   

At 3 PM, the Durham Symphony and Music Director William Henry Curry will take the stage, performing works by Morton Gould and John Williams, as well as selections from Wicked and Carmen and an exciting new work (Symphony: Dark Testament) by Maestro Curry.  We look forward to kicking back and celebrating the final event of our 50th season with you, our community, in the very heart of Durham’s vibrant DIY District!
