The Knights at Naumburg Orchestral Concerts in Central Park

June 23. 7:30PM. FREE

Summer’s here and the time is right for… free concerts in Central Park. The Naumburg Bandshell has been the site of free summer events since 1905, and the chamber orchestra known as The Knights have been playing there pretty regularly in recent years. On June 23, they present some new works by Lisa Bielawa and Caroline Shaw, arrangements of songs by Paul Simon and Christina Courtin, and a classic piece of American music, Samuel Barber’s Adagio For Strings. The Knights play a free show tonight at the Naumburg Bandshell in Central Park.  Can’t make it in person?  Catch the live broadcast on our sister station, WQXR 105.9, at 7:30.
