One month from today is the first concert in our 2014 Summer Concert Series in Glen Providence Park!<\/strong> It’s our third year presenting concerts at the historical WPA stage, which hosted summer concerts from 1937 through the 1970’s. We are delighted to revive this decades-long tradition of free community concerts in the park. We will present three concerts this summer: Swing & Traditional Jazz, Roots Music & World Rhythms, and a Classical String Quartet!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Summer Afternoon Concerts in the Park!<\/em><\/h3>\n
