NYC Free: SummerStage Jubilee is Virtual with Sting, Norah Jones, More Top Entertainers

POSTED BY

SummerStage JubileeSting, Norah Jones and Leslie Odom, Jr., are just three of the top stars performing at the SummerStage Jubilee, celebrating the free series of concerts in NYC parks each summer. 

This year, all the music is  virtual – as is this special event.

You can watch for FREE on Thursday, Sept. 17 at 8pm, but this is a fund-raiser to support the hundreds of free music and dance performances offered in parks throughout all five boroughs between Memorial Day and the end of September.  So please donate.

Additional stars performing include Roseanne Cash, Rufus Wainright, Trey Anastasio, PJ Morton and Emily King.

Plus, there are stories about New York by comedian Lewis Black, late night TV host Jimmy Fallon, Late Show band leader Paul Shaffer, and tennis legend Billie Jean King.

SummerStage, and this year’s virtual series called SummerStage Anywhere, are sponsored by the City Parks Foundation, one of the first and most successful public-private partnerships. 
 
The programs aren’t just music and dance performances.
 
It includes free tennis and golf instruction to experiential, environmental science-based lessons, all of which provide important, structured outdoor activities for young New Yorkers, even the money to buy tools and bulbs for volunteers to beautify local parks, and to provide training, micro grants, and coaching to facilitate local advocacy, all from the City Parks Foundation.
 
Your support will help maintain the new virtual arts festival, SummerStage Anywhere, to ensure that the performing arts remain available to all, while the City Parks Foundation to gear up for in-person concerts when they are allowed next year.
