From the concert the evening before the one we attended...

The New York Philharmonic Concerts in the Parks, Presented by Didi and Oscar Schafer, have become an iconic New York summer experience since they began in 1965, transforming parks throughout the city into a patchwork of picnickers and providing music lovers with an opportunity to hear the best classical music under the stars.

Performances begin at 8:00 p.m. For the second year in a row, we will present Share the Stage, performances by local musicians in their home boroughs, to salute the diversity of New York City’s resident musicians. Share the Stage will precede the Orchestra’s concerts in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island.

There will be fireworks by Bay Fireworks following the performance.
