I hope the rain stops so that the Philharmonic Concert tonight in Long Meadow in Prospect Park can go on as planned. Here are the ‘tails from the Prospect Park website. I will keep you posted (with the help of the Park’s oracle, Eugene Patron, as to whether it’s on or off:
Monday, July 14, 8 p.m.
Each year, the New York Philharmonic returns to Prospect Park’s Long Meadow Ballfields for
an amazing free concert under the stars. This year’s program will
include Mozart’s Divertimento in D major, K.125a; Beethoven’s Symphony
No. 4; and Sibelius’ Finlandia. Alan Gilbert will conduct; Sheryl Staples and Michelle Kim will be featured on violin.A
fireworks display rounds out the evening. The concert space features a
state-of-the-art sound system with a wireless broadcast network and 24
15-foot speaker towers. Park concessions will be on hand, selling hot
dogs, ice cream, and other great summertime refreshments.
