Description: PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. The West Point Concert Band is the oldest active band in the U.S. Army, performing concerts, military ceremonies, and at athletic events for the United States Corps of Cadets at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, NY. The band has served the nation for almost 200 years, performing for U.S. Presidents, Heads of State, and foreign dignitaries. It has played at venues including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Tanglewood, and has been showcased several times with the New York Philharmonic, continuing a long-standing collaboration with America's oldest orchestra. This event is free and open to the public. All seating is general admission, and no tickets will be issued.
Venue Description: Beginning as a collaborative project of the city of Brooklyn, the state of New York, the City University of New York, and Brooklyn College, the Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts comprises now of four performance spaces: the 476-seat George Gershwin Theatre, the 150-seat Sam Levenson Recital Hall, the experimental New Workshop Theatre, and the art-deco style, 2,350-seat centerpiece Walt Whitman Theatre.
The center provides family entertainment of diverse topics that are both suitable for children and enjoyable for adults through the FamilyFun series. To expose the arts to local children, the center created SchoolTime, a program that brings thousands of children from all around Brooklyn to the center to experience live performances.
In addition to its regular theatre series and performances by students of Brooklyn College, the center houses community functions, such as meetings and lectures for the Flatbush, Midwood, Flatlands, Carroll Gardens, Sheepshead Bay, and Coney Island communities. All four of the center's venues are available to rent.
The Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts is located at 2900 Campus Road in Brooklyn. Off-street parking is available during performance times for a small fee and metered parking is available on nearby streets. The center is wheelchair-accessible. The box office, located in the Gershwin Theatre lobby foyer, is open Monday-Thursday 10am-4pm and one hour prior to curtain time for any ticketed event.
