The forecast looks fantastic for tomorrow evening (Tuesday, 7/24), with clear skies and temperatures in the low-80s.

If you’re looking for something to do outside, there’s a free concert at the Naumburg Bandshell in Central Park.

Full details and the program are available at naumburgconcerts.org.

The music begins at 7:30 pm. No tickets are issued, but 700 seats are provided on a first come first serve basis. Benches around the concert grounds are also available.

This is the 107th year of free concerts at the Bandshell.

Tuesday’s performance is by the The Knights, of whom the Los Angeles Times writes:

“If we are to talk about the future of classical music in America, sooner or later, the Knights will come up…musicians with a modern sensibility, a wide repertory of works new and old, along with a crusading musical mission…”
