Concert on the Green
The 18th Annual Concert on the Green will be held on the lawn of Union Central, located at the corner of Waycross and Mill roads in Forest Park. Admission and parking are free. The grounds will open at 5:30 p.m. for family picnics and pre-concert entertainment including a performance by singer and entertainer P. Ann Everson-Price, a long-time favorite in Cincinnati. Her reputation continues to grow for her unforgettable mixture of jazz, gospel and rhythm and blues. Everson-Price has performed off-Broadway and on stages throughout the U.S. and Japan.
Also returning to entertain children and family members this year will be Magician Matthew Brian Taylor who has performed magic and illusions at festivals, parties and corporate events throughout North America and Europe.
Maestro Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops will then present a wonderful night of musical entertainment including well-known themes from Broadway including Wicked, Hairspray, The Will Rogers’ Follies, Smokey Joe’s Café, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Billy Joel’s I’m Movin’ Out, Mamma Mia, Ain’t Misbehavin’ and Jesus Christ Superstar.
The Pops, with guest vocalists Kirsten Bracken, soprano, and Stephen Rosenberg, baritone, will also perform musical medleys from blockbuster films including Titanic, The Lion King and Mary Poppins.
Pre-concert entertainment includes a fun-filled children’s area courtesy of volunteers from the Agape Children’s Center in Forest Park. LaRosa’s and Scott’s BBQ will sell food and refreshments, but families may also bring their own picnic baskets as well.
