You sometimes won't know exactly what's on the plate for the evening's entertainment when the Guest conductor arrives and surprises the audience with his or her selections. Bring your lawn chairs, picnics and blankets to sit out under the stars as the daytime heat dissipates and the cooler night air sets the mood for concerts in the park.
