CELEBRATE BROOKLYN

#TNYONTHETOWN SUMMER GUIDE PICK

Prospect Park’s historic bandshell once drew Brooklynites to foxtrot and jitterbug to live orchestras, with war bonds awarded to the best dancers. These days, @BrazzelK recommends attending the Celebrate Brooklyn concert series in the bandshell to witness a new generation moving – often with admission fees that feel like throwbacks to World War II-era pricing. For as little as a suggested donation of $3, you are able to hear a summer line-up including Theophilus London, the Philip Glass Ensemble, Brooklyn’s own The Lone Bellow, and, in orchestration of a different sort, a live performance of the score from the Oscar-nominated film “Beasts of the Southern Wild.” http://bricartsmedia.org/performing-arts/celebrate-brooklyn
