Boscobel to celebrate American Independence with GNSO concert July 6

Boscobel House and Gardens and the Greater Newburgh Symphony Orchestra (GNSO) will join forces again on Saturday, July 6, when the orchestra presents a concert of “Revolutions” on Boscobel’s Great Lawn overlooking the Hudson River in Garrison.
The program, under the direction of Maestro Russell Ger, includes works by Ludwig von Beethoven, Wolfgang Mozart, Igor Stravinsky, Piotr Tchaikovsky, and Giuseppe Verdi.
Following the performance, attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy a clear view of the fireworks display from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, directly across the river from Boscobel. The fireworks are scheduled to begin after the concert.
The inaugural Boscobel Symphony Picnic in May 2018 attracted such a large crowd that Boscobel has expanded the parking facilities this year.
“The orchestra is absolutely delighted to return to Boscobel,” said John Bliss, GNSO president and a former Boscobel Board member. “This partnership represents an excellent example of how nonprofits can work together for the common good.”
