Madison Cultural Arts presents the 31st Annual Concert on the Green sponsored by Guilford Savings Bank, on Saturday, July 6, 2013 on the Madison Town Green. 

The concert starts at 5:00 PM with the Shoreline Youth Symphony Orchestra.  The popular Manchester Pipe Band returns this year at 6:15 PM.

At 7:00 PM the Wallingford Symphony Orchestra (WSO) takes the stage with “The Great American Songbook” performing selections from Gershwin to Duke Ellington to a salute to Frank Sinatra.

Vocalists Lisa Sacramone, Lyra Olson and Charles Calotta will assist the WSO in exploring the roots of our American Classics. The finale will include the patriotic pieces that are always a favorite part of the concert.

Admission is free, with limited reserved seating areas closer to the stage for concert patrons who donate $60 or more. 

MCA’s lease with the First Congregational Church of Madison for use of the Green stipulates that the concert be an alcohol-free event and that space cannot be reserved on the Green prior to 6:00 AM on July 6th.

Call Richard Evans at 203-245-0615 for reserved seating or if you would like to volunteer to help with the concert. Note change of venue in the event of rain: the WSO will perform at Daniel Hand High School for the first 600 concert patrons to arrive.
