BRENDAN J. KENNEY conducting

This year, we’re transforming the experience and embracing Hammond Castle’s stunning outdoor setting. Arrive a half hour early to enjoy a pre-show, seaside refreshment from the cash bar as the orchestra warms up with the purchase of a Premier seat. Or, arrive a bit later and purchase a blanket from the Museum Shop, or bring your own blanket or low-rise chairs for a more family-friendly, casual lawn seating experience. Then, sit back and relax as Conductor Brendan J. Kenney and the Firebird Pops bring the holiday weekend to life with patriotic orchestral selections. Enjoy a spectacular performance featuring new arrangements and beloved classics, including stirring excerpts from the iconic 1812 Overture. This is the perfect opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable evening with family and friends. Experience the beauty of live music in a breathtaking coastal setting, and celebrate Independence Day with a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation.

Don’t miss this magical evening of music and celebration by the sea! Amenities: Beer and wine cash bar and light snacks will be available for purchase. Extras: Purchase your own waterproof Hammond Castle Museum lawn blanket upon arrival in the Museum Shop. The blanket seats a family of four comfortably. Your purchase will support the ongoing restoration and preservation of the Museum.

Rain or Shine. In the event of inclement weather, this performance will be moved into the Great Hall. Lawn seating tickets will be accommodated with General Admission seating.
