Mothers and their families will enjoy a free concert on the lawn at Loma Linda University Health, provided by the Redlands Symphony this Sunday, May 10.
The family-centered event will feature show tunes from well-known musicals by Rodgers and Hammerstein, including songs from “The King and I,” “The Sound of Music,” and “Oklahoma!”
Broadway singer Norman Large will be one of two vocalists performing famous show tunes during the concert. Joining him will be Debbie Prutsman, a familiar face for those in Southern California who enjoy theatrical performances of musicals.
Those who plan to attend are encouraged to bring a picnic supper and blanket to spread on the lawn just north of Loma Linda University Health’s cloverleaf towers. Limited seating will also be available, as well as food by local vendors who will be on site for the event.
The concert is becoming an annual tradition — a gift by Loma Linda University Health to the communities served by the organization, as well as to students, employees and their families. It featured the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra the past two years.

Co Boi Nguyen, assistant conductor of the Redlands Symphony, will conduct the orchestra during the light-hearted concert. A graduate of Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute and New York’s Juillard School of Music, Nguyen made her conducting debut in 2002 with Hanoi’s Vietnam National Symphony as the first woman and youngest conductor to direct that orchestra.
