HUNTERSVILLE – It’s time for the annual Charlotte Symphony Concert at McGuire Nuclear Station’s EnergyExplorium. The concert begins at 8:15 p.m. ONStarz, a group of Duke Energy employees, will provide a prelude performance at 7 p.m. with a selection of oldies but goodies. In addition, the Carolina Raptor Center will release a rehabilitated Barred Owl shortly before the concert.
The symphony, conducted by Albert George Schram, will perform its “Music for Lovers” program of orchestral favorites including the Wedding March from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and the “Romeo and Juliet Overture.”
Admission and parking are free. Bring a blanket, pack a picnic and come early to get a good spot on the lawn. Boaters may anchor in the EnergyExplorium’s cove at the southern tip of Lake Norman. Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase through the East Lincoln High School’s Band Booster Club.
“Our symphony concert has become a signature event for the Lake Norman area and is our biggest community event of the year,” said Valerie Patterson, communications manager for McGuire Nuclear Station. “Last year, we had our largest crowd ever with more than 7,640 attendees and 140 boats anchored in the cove. This concert really has become a favorite where families, friends and Lake Norman neighbors come together to enjoy the lake and hear great music.”
