Symphony Syracuse plays to a packed village green on a nearly perfect evening.

Symphony Fills the Green with People & Music

The Miller Administration is off to a great start.

On Monday new Mayor Margaret Miller handed out candy along the route of the Fourth of Juy parade. Tonight, she got to introduce the Syracuse Symphony, which played to a packed house on the village green.

Under the baton of Grant Cooper, the orchestra, which rose phoenix-like from the ashes of a headline-making bankruptcy of the former Syracuse Symphony, wowed the crowd with an eclectic program from Mozart to Sousa to Tchaikovsky and beyond.

This was the third July that the green has become a concert hall, a project championed by former Mayor Sue McVaugh.
