Description
Join us on Thursday, September 16 at 6:00pm for a free chamber music concert at Pier 3 Greenway Terrace in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
As the sun sets over the New York City skyline, a string quartet of ASO musicians invites you to reflect on our current journey of renewal and reawakening. This program includes pieces by all-American composers including Duke Ellington, George Walker and William Grant Still, with contemporary works by Gabriela Lena Frank and Carlos Simon.
