New York Philharmonic 2008
Every year, Philharmonic in the Parks offers performances at parks in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Long Island. While this offers an opportunity for the uninitiated to get a taste of classical music, more importantly it’s an opportunity to gather with friends and enjoy drinks, snacks and conversation with the New York Philharmonic providing a soundtrack. The closer you sit to the bandshell, the more seriously the audience takes the performance, so gauge your positioning appropriately.
