Concert In Park To Highlight Memorial Day By Ann Mead Ash

More than a year ago, Lititz merchant Gaylord Poling contacted the board of the Lancaster Symphony Orchestra (LSO) to suggest that the group play a concert in Lititz Springs Park near Memorial Day. The event would revive a tradition from the past. Poling teamed up with Stephen Armbruster of a local bank, and the two worked with representatives of the William and Jemima Brossman Charitable Foundation and the Irene Weidman Charitable Trust to sponsor a concert scheduled for the Saturday prior to Memorial Day 2018. “ We didn’t get to play in the park because the weather was really wet,” lamented Mary Ellen Davis, LSO board chair.

“It was humid and threatening rain.” The concert was moved to the Warwick High School (WHS) auditorium, where the musicians played to a standing-room-only audience. “ We are hopeful this year (the weather) will be a little bit better,” said Davis of the free LSO concert that is planned for Saturday, May 25, at 7 p.m. in Lititz Springs Park, 24 N. Broad St., Lititz. The concert, which will feature patriotic music, a pyrotechnics display, and wellknown show tunes, will be held in the band shell at the back of the park. Should there be inclement weather, the event will move to the WHS auditorium, 301 W. Orange St., Lititz. Davis noted that a change in venue would be announced by Thursday, May 23.
