You’ll recognize it the second it starts. Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 begins big, fast, and physical, then takes you on a ride with so many unexpected twists and turns you get lost in its magic.

Add friends and family, warm summer air, scrumptious food and drink, and hundreds of candles across the lawn so the entire place is glowing, and you’ve got, hands down, the best place to be Memorial Day Weekend.

UNC Health Summerfest at Koka Booth Amphitheatre with your North Carolina Symphony. Embrace the extraordinary.
