WELCOME TO THE 3RD ANNUAL POPS IN THE PARK concert in Waveny Park, New Canaan, featuring the Norwalk Symphony Orchestra! The New Canaan Pops in the Park Committee is pleased to share a beautiful evening of orchestral music with all of you — our very special guests. This year, we're excited to feature “Broadway Lights!” as our theme for the evening, with an emphasis on music featured in popular Broadway shows such as Annie, West Side Story, Guys and Dolls, and Phantom of the Opera. We're also thrilled to have the vocals of Mia Gentile, who has performed with the Symphony as Carrie in "Carousel" and Marian in "The Music Man." Inspired by the Boston Pops concerts on Cape Cod and Nantucket and the NY Philharmonic’s summer concerts in Central Park, this family-friendly evening is one that is sure to delight audiences of all ages. Please join us on Waveny Great Lawn with your blankets and picnic baskets for a summer evening of lively Broadway music!
Tickets are free, though we encourage a $5 per person donation to help support our concert. Concertgoers must reserve tickets through Eventbrite as we are limited to 1800 attendees. Your donations will support this year's concert and our annual Pops concerts going forward!

Our rain date is June 16th. We will update our facebook page and email you after 12:00 noon on June 9th if the plans change due to weather.
Safety first - there is a pond on the grounds of the park that may invite curious younger guests. We urge parents to always know where young children are playing and keep an eye out so that no one wanders down the hill to the pond. Thank you in advance for your diligence in keeping everyone safe!
PROGRAMS! We request one per family. We also have a special gift for the kids, which they can use when Maestro Jonathan Yates leads them in a Conducting Lesson. Then they will be the conductors! Please get these items as you walk past the house and toward the lawn from our Greeters!
