NY Philharmonic sets free summer park concert dates

The New York Philharmonic has announced its full free Concerts in the Parks schedule for this summer -- once again promising fireworks, Mozart, Bach, Beethoven and the 1812 Overture in Central Park and elsewhere in all five boroughs.

The just-announced shows are in addition to the free July 5 NY Philharmonic concert on Governors Island.

The schedule:
June 24 - Central Park
July 5 - Governors Island
July 8 - Richmond County Bank Ballpark, Staten Island
July 9 - PNC Bank Arts Center, Holmdel, New Jersey
July 10 - Cunningham Park, Queens
July 11 - Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx
July 12 - Heckscher State Park, East Islip, Long Island
July 14 - Prospect Park, Brooklyn
July 15 - Central Park

The orchestra plays slightly different pieces at each performance. And be warned, the shows are sometimes canceled due to rain. See the NYPhil's website for the phone number to call the day-of-show if rain threatens.
