Join us for a Concert & a Celebration!

The Poway Symphony Orchestra presents “An American Celebration” on Sunday, May 31, 2026, at 4 p.m. at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts. Under the baton of Conductor John LoPiccolo, this special program honors America’s 250th birthday with a vibrant all-American lineup of iconic 20th-century works that capture the spirit, soul, and story of our nation.

The program features "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin, performed by San Diego pianist Dan Yu, alongside "Fanfare for the Common Man" and selections from "Rodeo" by Aaron Copland, music from "West Side Story" by Leonard Bernstein, and works by Scott Joplin and Charles Ives.

After the final notes, continue the celebration at a festive post-concert reception in the lobby—open to all ticket holders. Meet the Maestro, soloist and musicians and enjoy cake, wine and refreshments as we come together to celebrate America’s 250th birthday.
