Sage Music invites you to jazz up your September Sundays with concerts in Gantry Plaza State Park.

— Joined by community partners, Sage Music is both performing and co-sponsoring the concert series. The Sunday night concerts will feature a wide-range of musical genres and will be held from 5 to 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 8, 15 and 23.

— Building on the success of last year’s concerts, this year, concerts will be even bigger and better! A whopping 40 musicians from 16 different acts will perform.

— The concert series was founded to promote the artists and businesses of Long Island City. As the area further develops, there is a collective community desire to support and promote the value of the arts in Long Island City, one of the most artistically rich neighborhoods in NYC. Talented musicians and artists work, live and/or study right here in our backyard and this is why every musical act in the concert series will have a tie to our local community.
