Spokane Symphony Labor Day in the Park

It’s a Labor Day weekend tradition for many of us: We lug our lawn chairs, picnic baskets and blankets to one of two outdoor venues — Pavillion Park if you’re in Liberty Lake, and Comstock Park if you’re closer to the South Hill — and listen to the Spokane Symphony as the sun goes down. Conducted by Morihiko Nakahara, the orchestra works through a roster of compositions that is (as is the case every year) bookended by “The Star-Spangled Banner” and Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. In between, you’ll hear well-known pieces by John Phillip Sousa and Aaron Copland, as well as selections from the Back to the Future and Harry Potter films. It’s the perfect way to wave goodbye to summer.
