Historic Richmond Town by Richard Termine
SATURDAY, JULY 27 | 5-6pm
This summer, Historic Richmond Town is thrilled to partner with Carnegie Hall Citywide, a series of FREE concerts that are sensational celebrations of sounds from across the country and around the globe. At a Carnegie Hall Citywide concert, you can revisit your favorite music or try something new, stay in your home borough or journey farther afield. Whatever you choose, you’ll experience everything that makes New York City so vibrant.
Live from the porch of the General Store on Saturday, July 27, this free, Saturday-afternoon concert invites all audiences to discover Staten Island’s Historic Richmond Town and enjoy the first-ever performance by the Gotham Brass Quintet. Hear five exceptional New York musicians in a wide-ranging program that not only includes compositions for brass by Dukas, Scheidt, and David Chesky, but also a variety of creative brass arrangements of works by Bernstein (selections from West Side Story), J. S. Bach (originally composed for organ), Debussy (originally composed for unaccompanied choir), and Dalmau (originally composed for a Spanish military marching band).
Seating will not be provided for this performance, but audience members are encouraged to bring their own chairs or blankets.
