Mission San José hosts Music Under the Stars concert

“Music Under the Stars” is a free outdoor pops concert scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Sept. 28 at Mission San José, 6701 San Jose Drive, near Roosevelt Avenue.

The Concert Band will present a salute to the 2012 Olympics and the Jazz Band will present music from the great American songbook. The Chorus will present patriotic, Broadway and choral favorites. A special part of the concert will be an appearance of the San Antonio Lighthouse for the Blind Choir.

USAA, Los Compadres and the San Antonio Missions National Park sponsor the annual starlight event which drew more than 1,500 people last year. Los Compadres is the Friends' group to the Park and has raised more than $4 million for preservation, rehabilitation, development and education projects at the missions.

Participants are allowed to pack a picnic and bring refreshments, as they are not available at the concert. Also, participants are allowed to bring lawn chairs or blankets.
