Soluna Concert

Celebrating a symphonic three weeks, the inaugural Nancy A. Nasher and David J. Haemisegger Family Soluna International Music and Arts Festival comes to a close this weekend. For the grand finale, festival director Anna-Sophia van Zweden, invites you to join her for a free show Sunday, May 24, at Klyde Warren Park. The concert, Salute to the Armed Forces, will be conducted by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra’s music director, Jaap van Zweden, at 8:30 pm, and will feature a selection of patriotic favorites — perfect for the Memorial Day weekend. “It is an honor to have the opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to all those who serve this great nation,” Jaap says. In conjunction with the Carry The Load organization, the concert will air on the Armed Forces Network, a television broadcasting company that serves America’s military bases worldwide. The concert will also air the next day (Memorial Day) on WFAA Channel 8. The Soluna Festival has supplied three weeks of awe-evoking performances, inspiring collaborations and debut exhibitions. Hosting a free concert to honor the armed forces, veterans and first responders is truly a fantastic way to take a final bow.
