The Brockport Symphony Orchestra will present its Outdoor Summer Pops Concert on Sunday, June 25, at 4 p.m. at the Morgan-Manning House, 151 Main Street, Brockport. Directed by Jonathan Allentoff, this family concert will feature vocal artists Mary Wojciechowski and Michael DeLuca.
Wojciechowski, a graduate of Nazareth College and Temple University, has performed as a vocal soloist at the Rochester International Jazz Festival and the Corning Museum of Glass. She appeared with the Philadelphia Pops Festival Chorus under the baton of Peter Nero. DeLuca studied vocal performance with Heinz Rehfuss while attending the University at Buffalo and has performed on stage across Western New York. He records and produces a variety of albums for the major streaming platforms.
The program includes Broadway and Hollywood favorites, folk songs, and the world premiere of “The Erie Canal Comes to Brockport” by Allentoff. This new work celebrates the Bicentennial of Brockport’s inclusion in the Erie Canal’s route, as a section of the Canal that stretched from the village of Brockport to Albany was opened in 1823.
Admission is free, and donations will be gratefully accepted. The audience is invited to bring lawn chairs and blankets.
In the case of rain, the concert will be held at the First Presbyterian Church of Brockport, 35 State Street, Brockport.
This project is made possible with support from the Village of Brockport and funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts.
