Worsdale leads the band--a sixty-two-piece wind, brass, and percussion ensemble--through patriotic songs, a tribute to Glenn Miller, and music by some of Green-Wood’s "permanent residents": Broadway lyricist Fred Ebb, nineteenth-century composer and pianist Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Leonard Bernstein, singer-songwriter Paul Jabara, and others. Also performing will be guest vocalist and program co-host Maggie Worsdale
Food and refreshments will be available to purchase.
