In addition, the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra will pay tribute to America's iconic band The Beach Boys to celebrate the 45th Anniversary of the band performing for the largest concert audience EVER assembled in the history of the State of Rhode Island - over 40,000 fans in September 1977 at the Narragansett Park Race Track in Pawtucket, RI - a record that has never been broken.
Music producer and historian Al Gomes of Big Noise will host an opening ceremony to our tribute and read statements from The Beach Boys. The City of Pawtucket will receive an autographed copy of the original concert plaque signed by The Beach Boys to be put on display in City Hall. The stretch of street where the concert stage stood has been forever renamed as 'Beach Boys Way' - the first and only street dedicated to The Beach Boys in the world.
The Beach Boys have been the soundtrack of dozens of Academy Award films including "American Graffiti," "Almost Famous," "Forrest Gump," "The Big Chill," and "Fantastic Mr. Fox," which keeps with our night's theme of "A Night at The Oscars" with the performance of our 'Beach Boys Medley.'
Please join us for this historic moment in Rhode Island music history!
