North End Music and Performing Arts Center brings a series of four concerts during the month of July, every Tuesday evening from 6:00 pm until 7:30 pm, to the North End Greenway Park (North St/Cross St), co-presented by Century Bank & Trust Co. and Harbinger Development, and in partnership with the City of Boston and The Greenway Conservancy. Led by artistic director Stefano Marchese, the series will bring together a mix of different cultures of the world through contemporary jazz sounds from Latin, Funky, Mediterranean, and World music. Jazz in the Park 2019 will take the audience on a music journey of inclusion, equity and diversity that makes jazz music the perfect vehicle for this blend.
Inspired by this event, picnic basket options will be available for purchase online at the Boston Public Market “Mercato” website; upon pre-ordering, they can be picked up by their information desk. We trust this music and food experience will be the perfect night out for families, friends, neighbors in and around the North End/Waterfront neighborhood! Check out this year’s line up!
