    These event notifications are probably saving my summer!
    Fantastic. I love music outdoors, not to mention — free.

    Thank you.

    n.b. SONOS Chamber orchestra. I prefer : Mozart to merengue music; Strauss’ waltzes to salsa musics; some Ducks quacking for a while to many drummy sounds; harp music [e.g., Harpo in a certain Marx Bros. movie] to hip-hop musics. I miss the radio programs of : Oscar Brandt [spelled correctly ?], &, of , Danny Stiles. I remember : Leonard Bernstein & Mary Martin; Jacqueline Du Pre.

    Please bring the “La La Land” concert to Central Park. Get in touch with Patricia Ward Kelly at: patriciakelly@genekellythelegacy.com

    This has been a big hit at the Hollywood Bowl and due to tour the country. It’s therefore important to reach out to Mrs. Kelly before it’s too late. It is definitely booking up fast.
