As the days get longer and the evenings get warmer, what better way to ease into the weekend than with free live music by the Hudson? On Thursday, June 14, head down to Pier 45 in Hudson River Park, lay down a picnic blanket on the grass and get set for an evening of classical music inspired by your favourite river. The Knickerbocker Chamber Orchestra – a much-loved ensemble who’ve been performing in Lower Manhattan for over a decade – will serenade you and your friends with the ‘Hudson River Rhapsody’. Pair that with a beautiful sunset (and BYO snacks) and you’ve got yourself a chilled-out Thursday night to remember.
