In 1981 Tulsa Parks asked the Signature Symphony to create a special patriotic presentation at Mohawk Park for Tulsans. Two years later the celebration was moved to Boulder Park, where it has been for more than 20 years. When the Signature Symphony moved to the VanTrease PACE, the night-before rehearsal was open to the public. This began the tradition of having the concert on July 3. This year's concert will feature stories and music from the Civil War, as well as a special tribute by violinist Jeff Smith to his highly decorated WWII hero: His dad.
