The Best of US – July 4th Concert Series

Stay COOL with SI Phil this weekend! Our Friday and Saturday concerts will be INDOORS, to beat the heat. At Snug Harbor on Saturday, we will be in Building P. Sunday’s high is a balmy 83 degrees, so we’ll be back outdoors at the Conference House.

Enjoy patriotic favorites, and celebrate some of America’s greatest composers—Leonard Bernstein, George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Lin Manuel Miranda, and more!

These concerts are made possible, in part, by an Encore Grant from Staten Island Arts, with public funding through the NY State Council on the Arts, the Community Development Fund of the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, the Kuhn Family Foundation, the Conference House Association, and by good friends like YOU!

Flag Day 2026!

From West Side Story, to An American in Paris, to God Bless America, and lots more…and it’s all FREE, fun, and family-friendly. The conductor is Donna D’Ermilio. Please share!
