NEW ROCHELLE, NY — A free family concert of traditional Greek Music and Dance will be presented on Saturday, March 23, at 2:00 pm, in the Ossie Davis Theater of the New Rochelle Public Library. Members of the Greek American Folklore Society will sweep audience members to the Aegean islands, Macedonia, central Greece and the Peloponnese, as they perform traditional dances in authentic costumes, accompanied by music of flute, clarinet and bouzouk. A “warm-up” for Greek Independence Day, on March 25th, the event is one in a year-long series of “BID Family Days Go Global for New Rochelle’s 325th Anniversary.”
The concert is on a first-come, first-served basis, to the capacity of the 138-seat theater, and is made possible by the Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) in conjunction with the library, City School District and New Rochelle Dept. of Parks & Recreation.
