Memorial Day Concert at Green-Wood Cemetery

The concert will feature works that honor members of the armed forces, while also spotlighting music by some of Green-Wood’s own permanent residents. Plus, enjoy a selection of contemporary pieces by a diverse range of composers. It’s the perfect way to commemorate the past, celebrate the present, and look ahead to America 250 through the beauty of music in one of the nation’s most historic landscapes!

Free, with a suggested donation of $10 per person registered. Donations help support Green-Wood’s free and low-cost programs throughout the year.
