Summer Festival dazzles on July 4th with music of Neil Diamond followed by fireworks!

Heartfelt songs made famous by one of America’s most beloved performers—Neil Diamond—along with rousing band marches and meaningful, award-winning film music drum up feelings of celebration and American pride at Pacific Symphony’s “July 4 Extravaganza,” featuring tribute band Super Diamond. The original Diamond, considered to be the third most successful contemporary artist of all time on the Billboard chart, has sold more than 125 million records worldwide and has 10 number one hit singles. Bringing the sound and essence of Diamond to the Symphony’s stage is Randy Cordeiro, with his husky, baritone impersonation, and band Super Diamond. Together they plan to rock Verizon Wireless Amphitheater with the American icon’s treasured classics, such as “Sweet Caroline,” “Song Sung Blue,” “America,” “Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show” and “Heartlight.”
