New York City’s Bryant Park has added Eddie Palmieri Salsa Orchestra presented by Harlem Stage to their 2024 Picnic Performances lineup on Thursday, September 12 at 7 PM.
Joined by his 13-piece band, Salsa Orchestra, 10-time Grammy winner Eddie Palmieri will commence Harlem Stage’s 2024-2025 season. This show is presented in partnership with the Bryant Park Picnic Performances.
Eddie Palmieri is regarded as one of the greatest pianists. In addition to piano, he is a bandleader and composer of Salsa and Latin Jazz. His music perfectly encapsulates his Puerto Rican Heritage while honoring his Harlem culture. With his musical accomplishments and innovation over his 60-year career, Palmieri and the band will certainly bring a spectacular performance to the series’ final weekend.
The Picnic Performances are a free concert series held in Bryant Park and sponsored by Bank Of America. The series gives diverse artists a performance platform as well as exposure to new audiences. Entry is on a first-come, first-served basis, and audience members can borrow blankets and chairs. The shows will be on from May 31 to September 13.
Likewise, Harlem Stage is a cultural arts center with a rich history of supporting the visions and creativity of artists of color. Their partnership with Bryant Park Picnic Performances significantly contributes to their mission of providing a safe community for artists.
