Our season opener, Beethoven on the Cape, features music inspired by nature, and in particular, by Cape Cod.

Relive the thrilling suspense of JAWS as the Cape Symphony plays the iconic score with the full movie, start to finish, projected on a big screen. The special performance on Friday, August 9, will kick off the inaugural Beach Road Weekend on Martha’s Vineyard, the island where the movie was filmed.

Vocalist Mia Pak makes her Cape Symphony debut in Symphony at the Seashore, fresh from another debut earlier this summer at New York’s Lincoln Center Theater in Grace McLean’s new musical In The Green.

We’ll be featuring the show-stopping number “You Will Be Found” from Dear Evan Hansen in February’s The Tonys: Broadway’s Best.

Why does the JAWS soundtrack still resonate with us, almost 45 years after we first heard those two notes?

On August 23, the Cape Symphony returns to the Cape Cod National Seashore for another beautiful evening of gorgeous music and salt sea air. We love our partnership with the National Park Service, and we love presenting this wonderful free event for the community.
