Civil War Anniversary and Memorial Day Concert at Green-Wood

This Memorial Day, memorialize the fallen soldiers of the Civil War. At 11am join Civil War veterans' descendents and Civil War reenactors at Green-Wood Cemetery's Civil War Soldiers’ Lot,  for a reading of the names of some of the veterans who buried at Green-Wood, artillery and rifle salutes, and musical tributes.

Then at 3pm attend the 13th annual Memorial Day Concert. The concert features the ISO Symphonic Band, melodies of the Civil War and the works of Green-Wood’s permanent residents Fred Ebb, Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Leonard Bernstein and many others. Bring a blanket and enjoy!

Both events are free, but Green-Wood asks you to register in advance so they can  gauge response.
