“We have enjoyed our partnership with the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra and what it brings to not only the Lincoln Amphitheatre but to our region,” said Marc Steczyk, Lincoln Amphitheatre’s director. “That they work so hard to make the experience unique is important to us, as well as their willingness to partner with the young adult members of the Heritage Hills’ choirs is an added benefit for all involved. This will, as always, be a very special night.”
The doors open at 5 p.m. Tickets for the performance are $19.95 for general admission and $25.95 for VIP (preferred seating, free drink voucher) and are available online at www.LincolnAmphitheatre.com or by calling 812.937.2329. All times are central.
“The musicians of the Evansville Philharmonic and I are once again thrilled to be kicking off our season at Lincoln Amphitheatre,” states Music Director, Alfred Savia. “Having lead two weeks of outdoor concerts earlier this summer in Central Indiana, I can attest to the fact that no other venue in the state comes close to the wonderful, natural acoustics of the Lincoln Amphitheatre. It is the only outdoor venue where the Orchestra can play – and the audience can hear – a pure, natural, unamplified orchestral ensemble of acoustic instruments!”
