Canadian/American composer Patrick Conlon.
“Since 1923, ArcBest and the Fort Smith Symphony have been
pillars in Fort Smith and the surrounding communities. We’ve each

provides businesses across the globe with industry-leading
logistics services, and the Symphony continues to delight listeners

given so much to us over the years. I hope everyone will join us
for this exciting celebration.”
