The Alliance for Downtown New York kicks off a free summer concert series on June 12 that will entertain Lower Manhattan’s lunchtime crowds with six weeks of music and dance performances. The performances will feature nationally recognized artists bringing exhilarating sounds of jazz, blues, salsa, bolero, cha-cha-cha, soul and pop music along with exciting tap, swing, and modern jazz dancing to downtown New York. All concerts are free to attend.
Concerts will take place each Wednesday at 12 p.m., beginning on June 12 and lasting until July 17, with locations alternating between 140 Broadway and the Oculus World Trade Center’s North Plaza. The series expands on the Alliance’s Art Is All Around campaign, which features public art and performances that can be enjoyed throughout the neighborhood. Music and movement for the concert series will be programmed by esteemed New York musician and producer Svetlana Shmulyian.
“These exciting performances will give you the perfect excuse to spend time soaking in the summer weather in Lower Manhattan and maybe even give you a workout,” said Downtown Alliance president Jessica Lappin.
