In the Spring of 2024, MSO’s annual Beethoven, Blue Jeans, & BBQ concert will celebrate Star Wars Day — a grassroots phenomenon that now transcends the English language pun that inspired it, “May the Fourth Be With You.” The Meridian Symphony Orchestra and guest artist, Timothy McAllister, will feature composers John Williams and Kenneth Fuchs, along with the ever-popular Beethoven on this year’s program. Once again, Beethoven & Blue Jeans will offer a pre-concert BBQ dinner, themed T-shirts, and a musical experience like no other.
