Blackbird Society Orchestra

Mar 23, 2015 by Stephanie

Rain date Sunday, June 7
Free, family-friendly & open to the public

WEATHER UPDATE: The concert is on for its scheduled day of Saturday, June 6. There are possible showers in the early afternoon, but the skies should be clear for our 4:30 concert.

For the first of four concerts in our 2015 Summer Concert Series, Friends of Glen Providence Park is delighted to present Blackbird Society Orchestra for an afternoon of 1920’s Hot Jazz! Travel back in time to the “Roaring 20’s” of flappers, gangsters and Model A’s. Hear the sounds of the “music people forgot about” including Eddie Lang, Bix Beiderbecke, Armstrong, Ellington, and many more!

Bring a blanket or chair, and relax on the lawn by the historical stage to enjoy a late afternoon concert! After the concert, head into Media for dinner and shopping, just 2 blocks away on State Street.

Thank you to our concert sponsors, Seven Stones Cafe, Media Recreation Board, and the Media Rotary Foundation; and to Delaware County Parks & Recreation for making the concert possible.
