The Gufs kick off a four-concert series with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra tonight at Boerner Botanical Gardens. The 7 p.m. show is free.

All four concerts (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday) take place in Milwaukee County Parks and are part of The Gufs' 20th anniversary.

The shows were inspired by the group's 2006 disc "A Different Sea." On it, a few tracks were mixed with string arrangements performed by select MSO musicians.

The concerts feature The Gufs' songs and orchestral classics from movies and signature composers.

The shows should create a cool sound and attract a new audience for the symphony.

"This year's unique collaboration with the Gufs allows the MSO to reach new audiences who like to hear classical music with a twist, " says Jenna Kashou, corporate relations manager at the MSO.

The gigs:

Wednesday, June 25 -- Boerner Botanical Gardens, 7 p.m.

Thursday, June 26 -- Milwaukee Lakefront (just north of the Brady Street foot bridge), 8:30 p.m.

Friday, June 27 -- Washington Park, 7 p.m.

Sunday, June 29 -- Milwaukee County Zoo, 2:30 p.m.
