Free Westchester Band Concerts Begin on Thursday June 25

Why travel miles to Manhattan to pay for an expensive night of entertainment, when you can grab a chair, pack a dinner and head to Chase Park in Scarsdale Village, and relax under the stars with friends and family, while enjoying the FREE summer performances of the Westchester Band?

Scarsdale is one of the few Westchester communities that is still fortunate to benefit from free concerts every summer in their town. For nearly 60 years the Westchester Band, a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization, has been entertaining generations of residents and friends with repertoire of Marches, Broadway and light Classics, original band works, rock arrangements, and audience participation with mystery tunes and prizes. The Band is made up of talented members of the community, professionals, amateur, and outstanding student musicians, and the concerts are free due to the sponsorship of the Scarsdale Department of Parks and Recreation, local merchants, and donations from the Friends of the Westchester Band.

Under the direction of Maestro Alan Hollander, the Band performs every Thursday night at 8:00PM in the park, beginning June 25th, and ending August 6th. In the event of rain, the concerts are moved to the auditorium at Scarsdale High School (1057 Post Road.)

Additionally, the Band will play its annual Independence Day concert at the Scarsdale Village Pool (311 Mamaroneck Road) on Thursday July 2 , starting at 7:30 PM and will accompany the July 4th Fireworks display at 9PM.

This year promises to be filled with extra spectacular performances as we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.

The Westchester Band is grateful to the generous supporters who share a passion in ensuring that the Band continues to make music accessible to all. Donations are greatly appreciated and tax deductible. Interested donors can mail checks made payable to “Friends of the Westchester Band” to 41 Van Etten Boulevard, New Rochelle, NY 10804.
