Free Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra Performance

PROVIDENCE, RI — The public is invited to a free performance of the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra at Temple to Music in the Roger Williams Park.

The show starts at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

"The theme of this year's concert — “Outstanding Overtures” — celebrates some of the most beloved overtures from Broadway, film and classical music," according to a media release. "Conducted by audience favorite Troy Quinn, the 69-piece orchestra will perform two 40-minute sets."

Concert-goers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets.

"In addition to the concert, food trucks will be onsite at the Temple to Music serving local, regional and global cuisine," the release said. "Dishes like seafood, Dominican fare, and doughboys are on the menu. Free parking is available throughout Roger Williams Park."

The concert is made possible by the support of the Rhode Island Foundation, the city of Providence, the Roger Williams Park Conservancy, Washington Trust and KLR, according to the release.

“Along with our partners, we are inviting Rhode Islanders to what has become an annual event for thousands of our neighbors,” David N. Cicilline, the president and CEO of the Rhode Island Foundation, said in the release.

“Supporting Civic and Cultural Life is one of the community priorities that are central to our work," Cicilline said. "We all benefit when people can come together to share common experiences. There is no better place to build community than in one of the state’s most beloved spots.”
