The 2023 Symphony at the Seashore will serve as a culminating event in a summer-long celebration of Cape Symphony's Artistic  Director and  Conductor Jung-Ho Pak, who will be stepping down from his role after 16  years of dedication and service to the Cape and Islands community.  Local guest vocalists Mozelle Andrulot and Ella Mae Dixon will perform American classics including “Fly Me to the Moon”, “Fascinating Rhythm” and more at this annual outdoor concert.

The free concert is made possible by major financial support from Friends of the Cape Cod National Seashore, Eastern National, and Cape Cod 5. Since 1987, Friends of the National Seashore has provided funds for public enjoyment and resource protection through volunteerism, as well as financial support for historic building preservation, trail rehabilitation, shorebird protection, education programs, and events. Contributions received from this night’s performance -- via collection boxes -- will support future Friends’ events such as educational programs, winter film series, and summer concerts.

“It will be thrilling to work with the talented musicians of the Cape Symphony and our long-time partners  at the Cape Cod National Seashore at this annual free concert,” said  Pak. “I’m grateful for everyone’s support and good wishes as I say farewell.”
