A Symphonic Celebration of Home
August 23rd, 2026 • Traverse City Opera House
Join pop anthem performer and composer Tony Manfredonia, the Northern Symphonic Winds, and a powerhouse string quintet for a cinematic concert celebrating Northern Michigan’s landscapes and America’s 250th anniversary.
This is where symphonic power meets pop songwriting.
The Music
Rooted in Northern Michigan and inspired by its beauty, Tony Manfredonia writes and performs music that blends symphonic power with heartfelt, cinematic songwriting — where pop stylings meet orchestral grandeur.
Tony’s work bridges worlds: the classical and the contemporary, the intimate and the immense.
This concert brings that vision home, celebrating Michigan’s spirit through music that unites us.
The Vision
On August 23rd, Traverse City Opera House will come alive with a one-night-only performance unlike any other: a musical celebration of place, community, and belonging.
Joining Tony on stage are the Northern Symphonic Winds and an ensemble of Northern Michigan’s finest string players, creating a breathtaking, genre-bending soundscape. From intimate ballads to thunderous symphonic climaxes.
Together, they’ll honor the landscapes, stories, and people that make Michigan home and mark the 250th anniversary of our nation with a concert that reminds us what it means to share in something greater than ourselves.
Witness the Experience
