Summer Picnic Concert: Riverside Brass Quintet
Bring your picnic blanket to relax with the Riverside Brass Quintet in Inwood Hill Park and enjoy a program that is “quintessentially NYC” with music by George Gershwin, Lin Manuel Miranda, John Batiste, Will Aaronson and more.
What started as a group of friends reading music and sharing bagels in an apartment on Riverside Drive, Riverside Brass Quintet (RBQ) redefines contemporary chamber music through novel performances, community-driven projects, and purposeful collaboration. RBQ is committed to uplifting local artists and ensembles; their Brass on Broadway series enabled Upper Manhattan residents to attend and explore popular Broadway music in three varied venues across Central Harlem, Washington Heights and Inwood.
This performance takes place in Inwood Hill Park, on Pat’s Lawn. Bathrooms can be found inside the nearby Nature Center or the restaurant Inwood Farm with purchase of food or beverage. Come early to talk a walk in the largest remaining old-growth forest in Manhattan, explore the newly renovated Inwood Hill Nature Center and be sure to stop by our WHCO sponsor CHOCnyc for their incredible homemade ice cream.
