About this Concert

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Ben Rector joins the SLSO and special guest Jon McLaughlin for a moving musical tribute to America’s 250th anniversary and the places we call home. Inspired by fifteen years of touring across the country, this performance pairs Rector’s most popular originals with new orchestral works honoring the American songbook. Equal parts golden era pop, Broadway shine, and modern hymn, the evening showcases the honest lyrics and magnetic stage presence Rector is known for. Experience a heartfelt symphonic celebration of the country’s cities, stories, and spirit —brought to life by one of today’s most beloved independent artists.

Keep the night going at After Party, the SLSO’s post-concert hang. Enjoy a relaxed, modern vibe in the lobby as you sip drinks and connect with friends. No additional ticket is required.
