Walentas’s Two Trees Management had originally proposed a 60-foot residential annex “piggy-backed” above the landmark 83-year-old Renaissance revival building — but Landmarks voted it down because it required demolition of part of the bank. But at a June 13 hearing, the panel greenlighted Walentas’s slightly wider 60-story condo in two adjacent lots. “We appreciate that Landmarks protected the [bank], but the bulk of the new building will still overshadow the bank and the entire street,” said Craig Hammerman, district manager for Com- munity Board 6.

MUSIC Groovy tunes Get ready to put on your dancin’ shoes as the Brooklyn Philharmonic performs at Celebrate Brooklyn on July 14. Brooklyn’s most famous resident orchestra (which has been playing free summer concerts for 33 years) takes to the band shell in Prospect Park for an evening of classical crowd-pleasers which are sure to get the audience’s feet tapping and their bodies swaying. After the opening notes of Arturo Mar- quez’s Mexican dance- inspired “Danzon No. 2,” the orchestra — led by conductor Robert (718) 834-9350 The Brooklyn Papers’ essential guide to the Borough of Kings July 1/8, 2006 Moody (pictured) — will run through several rhyth- mic showpieces that demonstrate how the universal art form of dance is handled by various composers. Once Marquez’s Mexican piece ends, the program shifts to the United States for the western frontier rhythms of “Four Dance Episodes” from Aaron Copland’s ballet “Rodeo,” then on to Seville, Spain, for Frenchman Georges Bizet’s famous dance sequences from his opera “Carmen.” Finally, we travel to Russia for the folk-inspired rhythms of Stravinsky’s balletic masterpiece, “The Firebird.” And for good measure, French mezzo-soprano Variety show Marie Lenormand will join Maestro Moody and the orchestra for the show-stopping number “What a Movie!” from “Trouble in Tahiti,” Leonard Bern- Enjoy free productions of contemporary & classic theater in the parks stein’s one-act opera from 1952.
