New Music Under the Stars season truly rings in summer
The number of Toledo’s outdoor musical venues have increased: the Metroparks, gazebos in city parks, outside of libraries, you name it. But before all these concert venues were even imagined, the biggest venue — outdoor, that is — was the Toledo Zoo Amphitheatre. And for decades, it’s been the setting for listening to music and seeing plays — under the stars — surrounded by the creatures that make music of their own. The series that began with the venue’s inauguration in July, 1936, begins on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. with the 122nd Army Band taking listeners back to the 1980s. The concerts last through Aug. 11. The great amphitheater, along with other structures that make up the city, was built thanks to the largesse of the Works Progress Administration.
