Let Your Spirits Swing at the Maple Grove Summer Outdoor Concert

Imagine the sounds of a 12-piece brass and percussion band filling the warm evening air. Jazz
melodies and sultry vocals drift over the light breezes, mingling with the scent of summer flowers. Friends and neighbors gather on the green with blankets and lawn chairs to enjoy the sounds of Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Woody Herman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Glen Miller.

Maple Grove’s First Summer Outdoor Concert on the Great Lawn will be held Saturday,
July 10th (rain date July 17th) 7:00pm – 9:00pm, THE CENTER at Maple Grove Cemetery
(127-15 Kew Gardens Road, Kew Gardens, 11415).

Let your spirits swing to the music of the Lew Picardi Big Band playing America’s Classic Swing repertoire and a musical tribute honoring Vincent Youmans, Jimmy Rushing, LaVern Baker and other musical talents interred at Maple Grove.

Big Band tradition alive through concerts for over 15 years. It continues to introduce the music of the great Big Bands to all generations. With Andrew Koslosky as MC, July 10th promises to be an evening filled with fun, memories and history.
