Naumburg Orchestral Concerts' 120th Season: Opening Night

Since 1905, the Naumburg Orchestral Concerts has continuously presented free, outdoor classical music concerts to New Yorkers of all walks of life. Named after founder and philanthropist Elkan Naumburg, who donated the Naumburg Bandshell to New York City in 1923, and inspired by his own ardent love of music, the series seeks to stimulate and encourage new and expanded audiences for classical music in the informal and beautiful setting of Central Park. This year's series kicks off with an eclectic program of music performed by The Knights, who have have featured in the series since June 2009.
