Carroll College and the Helena Symphony announce their continued collaboration for the twenty-second annual Intrepid Credit Union SYMPHONY UNDER THE STARS. The Helena Symphony welcomes back Intrepid Credit Union as its major sponsor, continuing a multi-year commitment to the event. The concert on Saturday, July 18th at 8:30 p.m. includes a fireworks finale, also sponsored by Intrepid Credit Union. Considered the largest single summer event in Montana, the much-anticipated SYMPHONY UNDER THE STARS attracts upwards of 10,000 people from all over the state of Montana and beyond.
Celebration! will be exactly what it sounds like. An evening of celebration! A celebration of America’s 250th birthday. A celebration of the newest president of Carroll College. A celebration of Helena’s newest mayor. Plus a myriad of other occasions to celebrate! And no celebration is complete without some party music. The music of Lionel Ritchie, James Brown, Earth Wind & Fire, Neil Diamond and Kool & the Gang will have you up and dancing from the beginning! The Helena Symphony will be working with the same producer from some favorite past shows, and welcome the return of Capathia Jenkins and Ryan Shaw, who both starred in the Aretha tribute in 2019 and ICONS in 2025.
“At Intrepid Credit Union, we are dedicated to fostering community engagement and creating new opportunities for our neighbors,” said Greg Strizich, CEO of Intrepid Credit Union. “The Intrepid Credit Union Symphony Under the Stars is an annual celebration that showcases remarkable musical talent and brings symphonic art to thousands in our community. This event not only supports local businesses and unites thousands in the community on this magical evening but also provides essential resources to those facing food insecurity. We are honored to be the principal sponsor of this cherished Helena tradition.”
“For 22 years, Symphony Under the Stars has been a true gift, wrapped in love of art and collaboration. Carroll College is proud to host this unparalleled event on campus in continuation of our partnership with the Helena Symphony and Intrepid Credit Union,” said incoming President of Carroll College Dr. Jennifer Glowienka. “It’s a stunning night to share with neighbors, friends, and visitors as we come together to celebrate community, the beautiful
Montana landscape, and exceptional musical talent from Helena, Montana, and beyond.”
“Symphony Under the Stars is a beloved tradition in Helena that brings together music, community, and generosity in a truly magical way,” says Jordan Evertz, Helena Food Share Executive Director. “We are grateful to partner with the Helena Symphony and Carroll College, and to see the incredible kindness of concertgoers who bring canned food to share with their neighbors. This annual event has become our largest food drive, providing essential support for our community. It’s inspiring to witness how a beautiful summer evening filled with music can also help care for those in need.”
