20th Annual Ludlow Kramer Memorial Spokane Symphony Concert

Let’s say you have a friend who just “doesn’t get” or “isn’t into” classical music. You know the type. You might be the type. But you have no better opportunity to get on board than the Spokane Symphony’s traditional free Labor Day weekend concerts, which is back in 2021 after a year away because of, well, you know. Music Director James Lowe and his merry crew of world-class musicians play two shows full of classical favorites, patriotic songs, even soundtrack work from big movies and Broadway musicals, so you’re likely to hear something you know even if you don’t know your Beethoven from your Bach. You even get to pack a picnic. One noteworthy change for regulars of these weekend shows: Due to construction in Comstock Park, Monday’s show will be at the Pavilion in Riverfront Park. And if you can’t make the shows, Hit the Fox Theater’s birthday open house Friday, Sept. 3, from noon-4 pm.
