Was the Metropolitan Opera in Prospect Park only a couple of weeks ago? Well, Eugene Patron, who we like to think of as the Oracle of Prospect Park, sent us an email to let us know that the Philharmonic will be performing on July 14. Per the email:
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.
The music starts at 8PM.
