Summer Music Series

It’s Summer Music Time!

The Museum began its third annual Summer Music Series with a performance by the McPherson Community Band at 8p.m. on Thursday, June 3. This is one of four performances to be held at the band shell, with the community building as rain site. The public is invited to bring folding chairs or blankets, as desired. Popcorn from McPherson Cinema 4 and Culligan water will be provided free, donations accepted.

All concerts begin at 8p.m. and will last from an hour to an hour and a half, with a short intermission, during which there will be a prize drawing for free meals from McPherson Wendy’s Restaurant.

There will be six events in total. The first four concerts, performed by the McPherson Community Band, will be held at the band shell at Lakeside Park. Dates for the concerts at the band shell are June 3, June 17, July 15, and July 29.

Cincinnati pianist Della Enns will perform at the opera house Thursday, August 12. The final performance of the season, a jam session, will be held at Sounds Great Music on Thursday, August 26.

These events are great for families and folks of any age. They are informal, and for the ones held in the park, children and pet friendly. 

Admission is free; a donation of $2 per person to benefit the McPherson Museum is appreciated. For questions, call the Museum at 620-241-8464.

The Museum Summer Music Series is made possible by sponsorship from NCRA, Wal-Mart, Edward Jones, the office of Gary Hess, Peoples Bank, Sounds Great, Wendy’s, Culligan, and McPherson Cinema Four.
