Worcester: Mass Symphony Orchestra moves concert to Tuesday; fireworks canceled

WORCESTER — The Massachusetts Symphony Orchestra's Patriotic Pops Concert scheduled for Monday night at Institute Park has been postponed to Tuesday due to a forecast of severe weather.

There will be no fireworks. Monday's show was to have concluded with a fireworks display, but fireworks cannot be arranged for Tuesday's concert, said Paul Levenson, the orchestra's executive director.

"After working since January to make this happen with fireworks this year, alas it was not destined to be," he said Monday morning. "We look forward to putting on a great concert tomorrow night, and hope that next year all of the stars will align as we had originally envisioned."

Tuesday's concert will start at 7:45 p.m. at Institute Park, and conductor Myron Romanul will lead the orchestra and vocalists Jane Shivick and Christon Carney in performing works primarily by American composers including Irving Berlin, Aaron Copland, Morton Gould, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and John Williams, among others.

"It will be a really great concert," Levenson said.
