Summer Sounds

Celebrate Israel
Salute Israel and welcome Eisenhower Park’s summer concert season at a lively concert with legendary Israeli folk-rock singer-songwriter David Broza, presented by the Jewish Community Relations Council of Long Island. Broza’s energetic performances reflect a fusion of the three countries in which he was raised: Israel, Spain and England. He delights international audiences with his renowned guitar playing, from his whirlwind finger picking to Flamenco percussion and rhythms, to a signature rock and roll sound, Broza’s dynamic musicality reflects a broad appeal; a passionate peace advocate, he aims to inspire audiences with his sincere message and musical innovations. His latest album “East Jerusalem/West Jerusalem,” released in 2014, which included Israeli and Palestinian musicians, along with artists Wyclef Jean and Steve Earle, reflects his humanitarian efforts based on the common language of music. A group of Long Island cantors also perform.
Sunday, June 11, 7 p.m. Bring seating. Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre, Eisenhower Park, East Meadow. (516) 572-0200 or 572-0233 or www.nassaucountyny.gov/parks.
