This Memorial Day, you can spend your Monday off at Green-Wood Cemetery with an afternoon of live music and tours of one of the country’s most picturesque cemeteries.

On Monday, May 29, the ISO Symphonic Band, a group that sponsors talented young New York City musicians, will lead the show with Brian P. Worsdale conducting. Additionally, the works of some “permanent residents” of Green-Wood will be featured during the concert, including those of Fred Ebb, Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Leonard Bernstein and more.

Following the concert, there will be two special tours of the cemetery, focusing on monuments and memorials dedicated to veterans. The concert is free but the tours are $20 for members of Green-Wood and the Brooklyn Historical Society and $25 for non-members.

The concert will begin at 2:30 p.m. and run to 5 p.m and RSVPs are recommended. To learn more about the event, RSVP to the concert, or purchase tickets for the tours click here.
