SYMPHONY UNDER THE STARS
Carroll College is proud to be a long-time partner with the Helena Symphony in hosting the annual Symphony Under the Stars on our campus every summer. Considered the largest summer event in Montana, the much-anticipated Symphony Under the Stars attracts well over 16,000 people from all over the state of Montana and beyond. This year’s concert and fireworks show is scheduled for Saturday, July 18 at 8:30 p.m. 
 
The 17th annual concert, sponsored by Intrepid Credit Union, will feature music of the Totally Awesome 80s – like U2, B-52s, David Bowie, Sting, Cindy Lauper, and much more. Joining the Helena Symphony Orchestra will be a four-piece rock band with four vocalists. The evening, as always, will end with a spectacular fireworks finale. We will share more details as the event approaches this summer.
