Steve Martin - July 27
To help celebrate the day, Britt is creating a “parklet” outside of the office doors on Main Street. The parklet will create a mini-Britt setting, complete with live music and spots for patrons waiting in line, or members of the general public, to relax and enjoy music and snacks. Local businesses Mellelo’s and Good2Go will also offer “Britt specials.”

This summer, Britt celebrates 50 seasons of concerts under the stars in Jacksonville. Special celebrations for the 50th season include the Black & White Gala on July 19, a festive all-inclusive night of wine, beer and food by local purveyors, and a performance by energetic jazz pianist Michael Kaeshammer. Also, on August 17, the Britt Orchestra will commemorate the milestone season with the performance of a commissioned “photochoreography” piece, which will show photos from throughout Britt’s 50-year history. The photos will be choreographed to The Tender Land Suite by Aaron Copland, which will be performed live by the Britt Orchestra.
