Parker Symphony Orchestra: Celebrating America

Join the Parker Symphony Orchestra for a final heartfelt concert of the season on May 22, 2026, as we continue to celebrate America!

Weeks away from July 4^th – the 250^th anniversary of the adoption of The Declaration of Independence – and just three days before Memorial Day, the PSO’s season finale concert celebrates America and honors the service and sacrifice of our country’s military personnel and their families through works by Aaron Copland, John Philip Sousa, and more. In celebration of Colorado’s own 150^th birthday, the concert will also feature music by Colorado native, composer and conductor, Chris Pilsner.
