The Dietrich Theater and the Northern Tier Symphony Quartet announce they will present a classical concert at Tunkhannock’s Riverside Park at 7 p.m. Saturday, June 26. Featuring the Northern Tier Symphony Orchestra’s woodwind quintet, the concert will treat audience members to an evening of familiar classical music from notable composers such as Bach, Beethoven, and Rossini.

Woodwind quintet members include Tom Bassett, Luisa Duerr, Robert Oldroyd, Patricia Rollands and Ed Wargo.

All are invited to attend this free concert sponsored by the Overlook Estate Foundation, but donations to the Northern Tier Symphony will be graciously accepted. Attendees are asked to bring their own blankets or chairs. According to Dietrich Theater Executive Director Erica Rogler, “This concert is the perfect way to cap off Tunkhannock’s Founders Day. We encourage folks to come to downtown Tunkhannock in the day for Founders’ Day activities and events, stay for dinner at one of our local eateries, and then join us by the scenic Susquehanna for a musical evening.”
