About forty members of the symphony took the stage under the direction of Enrico Lopez-Yanez to perform a wide range of music from Disney, Broadway and the great composers. Food trucks were on site, and United Way volunteers and staff handled all the beverage sales. Turner praised the energetic crowd, the symphony and the maestro for creating an unforgettable evening. He hinted that there may be more shows like this to come.

“We had 500 chairs, people on the sidewalks and people on the waterway. If we had to estimate, I would say there were about 1,700 people here. We’ve got to do this again, I loved it.” Downtown Commons’ Elizabeth Quinton said.
