This Sat., Sept. 10 marks the return of the Symphonic Stroll to Josephine Sculpture Park , located at 3355 Lawrenceburg Rd., Frankfort. Only in its second year, the event is an immersive music experience + fun for the whole family.

Today, we’re sharing a sneak peek of what you can expect, along with other ways you can experience the musical magic of the Lexington Philharmonic .

If you ask us, art + music are the perfect date night duo.

The Symphonic Stroll is “pure delight,” says Mollie Harris, Director of Marketing & Development with the Lexington Philharmonic. “There are so many hidden surprises. The music is paired with these sculptures adding a different layer to the pieces of art.”

As you stroll through the park, you’ll stumble upon a solo or musical duo at five different sculptures. Pause and soak in the sounds for a ~15-minute performance. Follow the map to finish your adventure at the beautiful tobacco barn where you’ll be greeted by a string quartet.

New this year are two interactive experiences. One is a sound installation with speakers tucked around the pond. Guests can manipulate the music around the water with a touchpad. The other is a family-friendly, music-making activity — playing on flower pots — led by Philharmonic staff members.
