Fruitlands Museum added a new concert date, Wednesday July 26, when Music Director James O'Dell and the Concord Band will present a program titled Summer Retrospective.

Music selections will comprise the Best of 2023, featuring audience favorites such as Broadway and motion picture themes, Irving Berlin's patriotic Songs for America, and a Dixieland ensemble rendition of When the Saints Go Marching In. Trumpet soloist Richard Given will perform Academy Award Best Original Song Beauty and the Beast on flugelhorn, and saxophone soloist David Southard will perform the Louis Armstrong and Kenny G mega-hit, What a Wonderful World. Maestro O'Dell rounds out the program with timeless classics, including the overture from Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance, the perennial favorite Radetzky March, Colonel Bogey march from Best Picture and Best Original Score film Bridge on the River Kwai, and majestic Spanish rhythms portrayed in El Camino Real.
