On Sunday, July 5, Morgan Park Summer Music Festival opens its 56th season with Glen Cove’s own North Shore Pops Concert Band. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Morgan Park and is free to the public.
In celebration of the nation’s birthday, North Shore Pops Concert Band presents Americana 2015, a program of upbeat band music reflecting the diversity of American culture. NSPCB, founded in Glen Cove nearly 30 years ago, has been delighting audiences on Long Island and New York throughout its history. The ensemble presents a wide-ranging repertory of proven crowd favorites – from Big Band sounds of Glen Miller, to the treasures of the Great American Songbook, and to patriotic tributes to the Stars and Stripes.
The North Shore Pops season-opener concert in Morgan Park on Sunday, July 5 at 7:30 p.m. is underwritten in memory of John S. Appleby.
