Dallas Arboretum Patriotic Tribute

in Dallas/Fort Worth Events on 06/30/15

Cool Thursdays Concert Series Pays Patriotic Tribute to America on July 2 Featuring The Dallas Winds As Last Band in Summer Concert Series 

Dallas Arboretum Patriotic Tribute

The premier concert series “Cool Thursdays” at the Dallas Arboretum, sponsored by Wells Fargo Bank, presents The Dallas Winds, a patriotic tribute to America, on July 2 as the series’ final concert for the summer. As Dallas‘ only concert series overlooking the picturesque White Rock Lake on the award-winning Martin Rutchik Concert Stage & Lawn, the weather is perfect to enjoy this outdoor performance and beautiful sunset. Tickets are still available for purchase online.

 

The Dallas Winds are the leading professional civilian wind band in the United States today. Comprised of 50 woodwind, brass and percussion players, the band performs an eclectic blend of musical styles ranging from Bach to Bernstein and Sousa to Strauss. They combine the tradition of the British brass band with the musical heritage of the American town band and the pioneering spirit of the 20th century wind ensemble.

 

Housed in Dallas’ Morton H. Meyerson Concert Center, The Dallas Winds are one of only a handful of professional windbands left in the U.S. Since their debut in 1985, The Dallas Winds have entertained more than a million people both at home and increasingly, on tour. Among those entertained was Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, for whom the The Dallas Winds gave a command performance in March 1991.

 

Missy Whisler, Dallas Arboretum’s vice president of sales, said, “It makes sense to have such an esteemed, premier wind band to not only wrap up our summer concert series, but also in order to celebrate our country’s independence. We encourage guests to participate in the weekly costume contest to win prizes. This week’s theme is to wear your best and brightest red, white and blue outfit to win the ‘Lady Liberty or Uncle Sam’ award.”  

 

In addition to the coolest view of White Rock Lake, attendees can bring picnics and beverages or purchase food from food trucks including The Guava Tree, Cajun Tailgators and Bobaddiction.  The gardens are also open to stroll through before the concert to enjoy the Summer at the Arboretum display and the various gardens.

 

The Cool Thursdays Concert Series begins again in the fall on September 3 with China Grove, the Doobie Brothers All Star Tribute Band.
