Memorial Day Concert

Green-Wood’s much-loved Memorial Day concert returns for its 24th year! Bring a blanket, picnic, and all your friends to join us for this beloved kick-off to summer. We welcome back the talented high-school musicians of the ISO Symphonic Band at Third Street, led by music director Paul Corn and hosted by guest conductor Brian P. Worsdale. Each year we feature works that commemorate those who served in the armed forces throughout our nation’s history, while also highlighting music by some of Green-Wood’s permanent residents, including James Weldon Johnson, Fred Ebb, and Leonard Bernstein. This year’s repertoire will also include works by a diverse range of contemporary composers.

Free, with a suggested donation of $10 per person registered. Donations help support Green-Wood’s free and low cost programs throughout the year.

Before Registering, Please Note:

• Location: This program takes place near the Arch at the Main Entrance at Fifth Avenue and 25th Street.
• Seating: We strongly encourage attendees to bring a blanket to sit on the grass. Chairs will be provided on a first come, first serve basis.
• Concessions: There will be a limited selection of food available for purchase, bringing a picnic is recommended. Alcohol is not permitted in the Cemetery.
