Bask in the beauty of Green-Wood Cemetery while listening to a concert by high-school musicians of the ISO Symphonic Band at Third Street. The musical selections commemmorate those who served in the armed forces, as well as feature music by some of Green-Wood's permanent residents, including James Weldon Johnson, Fred Ebb, and Leonard Bernstein. Bring a blanket, a picnic, and friends for this afternoon concert on Monday, May 27, which is celebrating 23 years in Brooklyn. It's free to attend with a suggested $10 donation.
