Last year, the Palos Verdes Symphonic Band was on trend playing music from the popular Netflix series, “Bridgerton,” which features orchestral renditions of pop songs. This year, they are bringing classic movies to life by playing soundtracks by the famous composer John Williams during the Sunset Series on July 25.
Williams is known for creating the famous scores from movies like “Indiana Jones,” “Jurassic Park,” “Star Wars,” “Jaws” and more. The music of John Williams evokes a wide range of emotions, from the majesty of “Star Wars” to the whimsical charm of “Harry Potter.” “Guests can expect to hear soundscapes that are timeless and instantly recognizable,” says the band’s representative, Carol Levi.
The PV Symphonic band is a Garden regular, performing at our past Sunset Series. Levi shares that they are “thrilled to perform under the open sky and stars” and “relish the picturesque setting among the grass and open sky, where families and friends can stretch out on a blanket, enjoy the music, and even dance barefoot in the grass.”
The PV Symphonic Band was founded over 60 years ago and has brought concert band music to the South Bay ever since. The band consists of 60 amateur and professional musicians from the community. From teachers to engineers, physicians, and former collegiate and military band members, this ensemble plays for the residents of Palos Verdes and surrounding neighborhoods.
The night will also include specialty food and drink items to fit the theme including a Dark Side Nigroni and a Jurrasic French Dip Sandwich. These speciality menu items and our usual food and beverage items will be available all night at both of our full service bars.
