Weston Pops Concert Returns by Weston Music Society

The City of Weston and the Weston Music Society are pleased to announce the return of the free Weston Pops Concert. It will be held Saturday evening, April 22 at 6:30pm, in Weston Town Center behind the Bell Tower. A limited number of chairs will be set up, so feel free to bring your own chairs. This will be a treat for the whole family to enjoy wonderful music in a relaxed setting.

This year, the South Florida Symphony will present the concert under the direction of Maestra Sebrina María Alfonso. Alfonso has been a guest conductor with such esteemed orchestras as the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the San Jose Symphony, the San Antonio Symphony, the Pacific Symphony, the Prague Radio Symphony, the Orchestra de Rus in Sienna, Italy, and the Women’s Philharmonic, among many others. She even conducted an underwater concert for over 400 divers which received world-wide recognition.

Gina Catone, President of the Weston Music Society, says, “I am beyond excited to welcome the South Florida Symphony to Weston. I had the pleasure of attending one of their events and was impressed with the talented and passionate musicians I witnessed on stage. It is my hope that Sebrina, one of the few female conductors in the country, will be an inspiration to our young people.”

As always, the program will consist of familiar favorites including pop standards, Latin favorites, and more. The program will include singers as well as orchestral presentations.

Annalisa Walker, Special Events Manager for the City of Weston, added, “After a year off, we are elated to present the Outdoor Pops Concert again. This event under the moonlight is such a nice opportunity for the entire family to enjoy. Whether you choose to sing along or dance to the beat, all ages will enjoy this concert featuring tunes from all genres of music.”
