Symphony To Open Summer Concert Series In Doylestown Township

DOYLESTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — A free outdoor concert by the Bucks County Symphony Orchestra will launch the 2025 Thompson Performing Arts Series on Wednesday, June 4 at the C&N Amphitheater in Doylestown Township's Central Park.

The concert is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. with an evening of festive music, patriotic tunes, American classics, and a special salute to veterans.

The Bucks County Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1953 to enrich the community through the performance of the finest orchestral music. The orchestra's music ranges from classical standards to the most recent hits of the Broadway stage.

A majority of its players, and all of its board members, are volunteers. Working under the leadership of conductor José Luis Domínguez and assistant conductor Sebastian Grand, the orchestra is committed to the pursuit of musical excellence and to carrying forth the purpose and motivation of its founders: the pure joy of performing music.

"This year is extra special as we celebrate 30 years of Central Park — a milestone that reminds us just how much this space has meant to our community," said series organizers. "Come be a part of the celebration, enjoy live music in a beautiful setting, and connect with friends and neighbors."

The event will include a weekly beer garden provided by Warwick Farm Brewery and a variety of food trucks.
