The fourth annual Symphony at Sunset D-Day Commemoration
Concert will be held Saturday, June 6 -- the 71st Anniversary of D-Day-- on
the steps of the Eisenhower Presidential Library. The 35th Infantry Division
Band (Kansas National Guard) will open the concert at 7 p.m. followed by the
Salina Symphony headlining at 8:30 p.m.
This patriotic concert pays tribute to all veterans. Each
year Maestro Ken Hakoda masterfully plans a beautiful selection of music.
Salina native and award-winning tribute artist Les Lankhorst will perform as
this year's featured guest artist. Lankhorst will pay tribute to the
"Voice of the Century" marking the 100th birthday of Frank Sinatra.
In lieu of a ticket fee, concert patrons are requested to
make a donation. Eisenhower Presidential Library Director Karl Weissenbach said
that since no tax dollars are used to fund public programs, the contributions
will be used to support this year's performance and future events. This free
concert is a #PayWhatYouCan performance.
Those attending the concert are invited to bring lawn chairs
or blankets and to picnic on the grounds. Food and beverages including such
items as barbecue, fritters, bierocks, pie, popcorn, nachos, donuts, candy,
soft drinks and beer will be available from area vendors beginning at 5:30 p.m.
