The final concert in the summer series hosted by the Lansing Symphony Orchestra was held at Frances Park

Families in the Greater Lansing community enjoyed a free symphony performance, local food, and multiple vendors at Lansing Symphony Orchestra’s Concert in the Park series on Wednesday, August 6. WKAR joined the event and hosted over 100 community members during the concert, which was the last performance of the 2025 series.

The chamber orchestra performance was conducted by Sara Aldana, the current Cover Conductor for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Detroit Symphony Youth Orchestra.

WKAR classical music hosts Linda Kernohan, Jody Knol, and Jamie Paisley spoke with visitors and distributed WKAR giveaways.
