Wave Hill Weekly Events July 18 – July 25 | Sunset Wednesday Concerts & Stories in the Garden

 

Summer is in full swing here at the garden. We’re gearing up for our free outdoor concert this evening in partnership with Carnegie Hall Citywide. This special performance by Jasmine Rice LaBeija is the perfect way to round out Pride month and gear up for our fabulous Sunset Wednesdays summer concert tradition. It’s back with four exciting performances Wednesday evenings in July. Pack a picnic and bring your favorite blanket or chair for an unforgettable summer evening on our Great Lawn as the sun sets over the Hudson. 

 

And don’t miss our special late night in the garden July 12th in partnership with Gotham Bat Conservancy for a Friday Evening Bat Walk and Talk.

Sunset Wednesdays: Edmar Castañeda 

$15/adults; $10/students/seniors; $6/children 6-18; Free/members & children under 6 
Advanced tickets encouraged 
 

Hailed for “his amazing technique [that] raises the bar for every harpist” (NPR’s “Fresh Air”), Colombian-born Edmar Castañeda has made a name for himself as the preeminent jazz harp virtuoso. The Latin Grammy nominated artist brings forth a brilliance that beautifully merges the jazz tradition with a diverse set of styles and genres while bringing unbridled attention to a somewhat unexpected instrument: the harp. Singlehandedly, Castañeda has cemented the harp’s place in jazz with innovative technique and heartfelt creativity.
