The Nassau Pops Symphony Orchestra, directed by Louis Panacciulli, performed in Gazebo Park on July 12. This is part of the village’s Summer Concert Series, co-sponsored by the village and the chamber of commerce.

The Nassau Pops were founded in 1984 and first performed in the village in 1988, retunring nearly every year since. During the concert, they performed music from popular movies, Broadway shows, and were accompanied by vocalists Ann and Jack Cassin throughout the show.

Residents of Malverne came out to enjoy the performance at the center of the village, under the tree shade during a beautiful afternoon to kick off the summer.
