May 25: Memorial Day with the Tucson Boys Chorus
An evening of remembrance and a fond farewell will complete our spring Music Under the Stars series on May 25.
Our annual Memorial Day concert will feature as special guests the Tucson Arizona Boys Chorus under the direction of Julian Ackerly, who will lead the chorus in his final public performance after 45 years with Tucson’s “Ambassadors in Levi’s.”
Bring your lawn chairs or blankets, pack a picnic basket or visit our food trucks, and enjoy another memorable evening with the Tucson Pops Orchestra.
