Symphony Information 

The 21st annual Intrepid Credit Union SYMPHONY UNDER THE STARS is a gift to the community from the Helena Symphony and Carroll College. The theme is “ICONS,” and will reflect the great voices that changed music over the past half century. Symphony Under the Stars won’t be locked into a particular musical style, but will have a bit of soul, a bit of country, a bit of rock, and a bit of disco. The voices highlighted include some that the Helena Symphony has featured in the past, such as Aretha Franklin, Billy Joel, and Elton John, but also icons such as Whitney Houston, Diana Ross, Johnny Cash, and Stevie Wonder. 

The evening culminates with one of the best fireworks shows in Montana, also sponsored by Intrepid Credit Union. Over 18,000 people attend this wonderful tradition, so pack your blankets. 

What to bring: 

  • A blanket to sit on and one to stay warm with
  • An optional canned or non-perishable good to donate to Helena Food Share
  • Cash - Vendors will be on hand at the event
