Summer and live music: the best combination. The MPF and the Council for Living Music co-sponsored dozens of concerts this summer as part of our efforts to promote live music, including performances at Bryant Park and Times Square. Also pictured are musicians rehearsing for the annual Senior Musicians Concert and the New York City Labor Chorus, as well as musicians from the New York City Ballet.
