The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra has announced the lineup for its 36th Symphony on the Prairire season. It features a hint of classical music along with multiple tribute nights and a few name-brand headliners.
Here's what's in store:
The season opens with Beethoven's Fifth, June 15-16. Then tributes to the Eagles and the Summer of Love (Jefferson Airlplane, Cream, etc.) are featured in one-nighters June 23 and 24 respectively.
July 1-4 is, of course, reserved for Star Spangled Symphony with four nights of patriotic music and fireworks. Then it's back to the classics with a romance-themed evening featuring music by Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, and more.
Movie music is the focus on July 15-16 with John Williams' scores as the focus. It's followed by a pair of Doo Wop evenings July 21-22.
After that, the Symphony itself goes on break, turning over the stage to others. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy takes the stage July 28-29, The Beach Boys, led by founding member Mike Love, follows on Aug. 4-5. The season rounds out with weekends devoted to Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Michael Jackson, and Led Zeppelin tribute acts.
The only hole in the schedule is an Aug. 31-Sept. 1 TBA.
