INDIANAPOLIS — The Star-Spangled Symphony on the Prairie is back this year with a lot of traditions still intact and a slight change.
Beginning Friday night, and running through Monday night, July 4, the Symphony will take to the stage at Conner Prairie and deliver the highest quality of music as Hoosiers gather to celebrate American freedoms.
The show again will conclude with fireworks, but instead of the symphony closing with the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky, they will make a small adjustment.
Watch above to learn more about the performance.
