Performances:
Party in the Garden: Brass Queens
To help celebrate our 60th anniversary, the New York-based, female-led Brass Queens returns to Wave Hill with their signature style that sits at the intersection of the Big Apple and the Big Easy. Their sound is deeply inspired by and pays homage to the New Orleans brass band tradition while injecting the upbeat, multifaceted energy of their New York home into each performance.
Party in the Garden: Alea
Colombian-born singer, composer, and musician Alea creates a sound that celebrates Latin America. Alea brings her live performance outdoors to Wave Hill’s Great Lawn in honor of the garden’s 60th anniversary, combining her rich and diverse afro-indigenous background and her experience with wide-ranging musical landscapes.
Special Events:
Afternoon Tea
