A Weekend of Music

Downtown Sounds

Recently the City of Glen Cove and the Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) kicked off the Downtown Sounds Music Series with the Marty Napoleon Quartet featuring Bria Skonberg and its smooth jazz sounds.  The Village Square was filled with music lovers and the surrounding downtown sidewalks and restaurants were filled to capacity with patrons as the Downtown Sounds Summer Music Series began. Concerts are planned for Friday evenings throughout the summer.  The rain location is the Wunsch Auditorium at the Finley Middle School.  Visit www.glencovedowntown.org for this season’s musical lineup.
