The fourth annual Symphony at Sunset D-Day Commemoration Concert will be held Saturday, June 6 — the 71st anniversary of D-Day — on the steps of the Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene. The 35th Infantry Division Band ( Kansas National Guard ) will open the concert at 7 p.m. followed by the Salina Symphony headlining at 8:30 p.m.

This patriotic concert pays tribute to all veterans. Salina native and award-winning tribute artist Les Lankhorst will perform as this year’s featured guest artist. He will pay tribute to the “Voice of the Century” marking the 100th birthday of Frank Sinatra.

In lieu of a ticket fee, concert patrons are requested to make a donation. Eisenhower Presidential Library Director Karl Weissenbach said that since no tax dollars are used to fund public programs, the contributions will be used to support this year’s performance.

Those attending the concert are invited to bring lawn chairs or blankets and to picnic on the grounds. Food and beverages ranging from barbecue and bierocks, to pie and donuts will be available from vendors along with soft drinks and beer.  Vendors include Amanda’s Bistro, Cotton Candy Dreams, Cox Brothers BBQ, Dinky Dunkers, Fun Foods, West’s Country Mart, Salina Symphony Guild, and Eisenhower Library / Trust Fund.
