Operation Gig! will provide two outdoor, live music performances this weekend. The series, held on the porches of private houses in Ditmas Park, started in July 2020 to offer a venue where musicians could perform during the pandemic, while providing a safe space for people to gather to enjoy live music.
No entrance fee is charged, but donations to the musicians are welcome either at the performance or to the tax-deductible Operation Gig Musician Guarantee Fund on GoFundMe.
New Camerata Opera
Saturday, August 6th, 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
"Principal soloists from New Camerata, NYC’s most exciting young opera company, will offer serenades of some of the greatest musical masterpieces."
Location

Ditmas Park, Brooklyn
Dolunay
Sunday, August 7th, 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
"Since 2012, Dolunay has lured audiences with their approach to Turkish and Rumeli musical traditions. At once ethereal and grounded, Dolunay flirts with the soundscape of the ancient Ottomans, tracing its migration through Balkan villages, coaxing it across seas and oceans, and grafting it onto a Brooklyn-based backdrop."
