The music will be back at Central Park’s Music Haven this summer.
For three Sundays in August, the outdoor stage in Schenectady will feature local musicians, like the Schenectady Symphony Orchestra, and some from further afield, like Israeli/Iranian pop artist Liraz.
“I’m thrilled to keep Music Haven on the map this summer and welcome friends and neighbors back to the heart of the park,” said Producing Artistic Director Mona Golub,who has produced concerts in Central Park since 1990.
Last year, Music Haven was canceled due to the pandemic and planning this season came with several challenges, including restrictions on international travel.

Kicking off on Wednesday, June 23, the Freedom Park Summer Concert Series will feature biweekly in-person concerts through Aug. 28.
“After 2020’s completely virtual season, we couldn’t be more excited to be live and back on the park stage this year,” said Cathy Gatta, the president of the Freedom Park Foundation.
To bring back in-person shows, organizers will rearrange seating, sectioning off pods of about 10 feet each, so that attendees can socially distance themselves from other groups.
At this point, New York State allows up to 500 attendees at outdoor concerts without the venues having to check for vaccination or COVID-19 testing, said Gatta. “We are hoping the restrictions keep loosening as we go through the summer, but at this point, we’ll take what we can get.”
