The concert season begins on Sunday, October 22, 2017 at the Jericho Public Library with Cross Island, an eclectic program for cello and piano. The concert series continues through Saturday, May 19, 2018 culminating with a performance from Naomi Zeitlin’s Cabaret. This season’s lineup also includes Vito Lombardo - Italian-American Vocalist, Conga’s homage to the music of Gloria Estefan and The Miami Sound Machine, Gilbert & Sullivan Light Opera Company of Long Island, The Feinberg Brothers - an authentic Bluegrass Band from Long Island, Glenn Crytzer’s All Stars performing vintage jazz and Vinny St. Marten and The Seeing Eye Dog Band, just to name a few.
Together, with my fellow Town Board members, we are proud to provide residents with the very finest cultural and performing arts entertainment, all free of charge and held at conveniently located local libraries. Please take a few moments to glance through the brochure and begin planning your entertainment schedule. We look forward to seeing you at the concerts.
Sincerely,
JOSEPH SALADINO Town Supervisor
