"Summer Sundays In the Park" Concert
Since 2004, Jackson Heights Beautification Group (JHBG) has been bringing stellar artists to Travers Park every Sunday in the summertime. There’s something for everyone, from classic rock, to South Asian drums, along with dance and jazz. Queens—and Jackson Heights in particular—is known and lauded for its diversity, so why not celebrate that diversity through music? This Sunday, JHBG hosts Phiroj Shyangden, a Nepali singer, guitarist, composer, songwriter in the Nepali language. He is the founding member of the band 1974 AD and The Original Duo. “He changed the course of the Nepali music scene for good,” says Prajwal Mukhiya, the 26-year-old singer who took over as 1974 AD’s lead singer after Adrian Pradhan’s departure in 2015. “He influenced me and many other musicians who are active today.” Date Sunday, August 27th, 2023 6:00pm Location Travers Park 76-9 34th Ave Queens, NY 11372 Rain Location: The Garden School, 33-16 79th Street Admission FREE This project is supported by funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, Edith Lutyens and Norman Bel Geddes Design Enhancement Fund, Statewide Community Regrants Program (formerly the Decentralization program) with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature, and administered by Flushing Town Hall.
