On the weather permitting matter, you can sign up for a concert advisory from NY Phil and they'll send a message to your phone later today.

(Update: At 7:15 this message went out: "It's almost time! Tonight's NY Philharmonic concert on Central Park's Great Lawn is still scheduled to begin at 8 pm.")

Elsewhere in the park, the Naumberg Bandshell tonight at 7:30 p.m. hosts the Brooklyn Philharmonic playing Stravinsky, Mozart and Beethoven.

Other upcoming Naumberg Bandshell concerts:

July 8 - Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players
