Imagine sitting next to that special someone with the summer evening fading into purple twilight and the sounds of Latin jazz wafting through the air. Grab your picnic basket and bring your honey to the Starlight Summer Concert Series at Kennesaw State University's Legacy Gazebo Amphitheater. Additional concerts are scheduled to take place nearly every other Sunday evening throughout the summer. Families, couples and people of all ages enjoy the festive but relaxed atmosphere. Starlight favorites, like international recording artist Nestor Torres, Vecinos del Mundo and the Cobb Symphony Orchestra, also will return for performances this year.
People really enjoy coming to hear a variety of jazz styles from Dixieland to Latin.
Meeks also mentioned that many people like to get up and dance. We want people to thoroughly enjoy the evening. All concerts are free and do not require reservations. Each year, the series has become increasingly popular with area residents. In fact, many attendees arrive two hours early to enjoy a leisurely picnic dinner before the performance.
