Mostly Music — perfect staycation

May

Last night, very worthy artists, and their supporters, were saluted at the 23rd annual County Executive Arts Awards ceremony.

I want to add a shout-out to the organization that won the Supporter of the Arts category, Friends of the Nyacks. They were lauded for their work with Riverspace and Rivertown Films, among other great events and programs the help foster.

But I wanted to especially point out the Mostly Music concerts that take place in Memorial Park along Nyack’s Hudson shoreline. They start up in June, and take place on summer Tuesday evenings. It’s a great way to share a picnic with neighbors (you bump into people from around the county) and listen to all kinds of music (bring the kids and they will be serenaded as they play in the playground!) Talk about a great staycation: Free concert in a lovely setting.

What a talented bunch of winners this year! (And, yes, “Titanic” on the Nyack High School stage was chilling, and “Phantom of the Opera” was stunning.)
