Southern Dutchess Concert Band at Locust Grove Estate, Poughkeepsie

It's weekend of America's 250th! Locust Grove Estate will host a concert by Southern Dutchess Concert Band this evening on the beautiful grounds of the Samuel Morse Mansion. Admission is free, so pack your lawn chairs and blankets. If it should rain, this concert will be held indoors in the West Gallery room of the Locust Grove Visitor Center. In that case, Locust Grove will provide chairs for the audience.

Highlights will include: music from "The Pirates of the Caribbean" movies, a salute to the swinging big bands titled "Jitterbug!", songs from the musical "Chicago", and patriotic selections.
