Hudson Festival Orchestra (HFO) will feature area professional musicians and special guest artists. Student musicians will perform with the orchestra, as part of HFO’s “Take a Seat…in the Orchestra” mentoring program.

Join us beginning at 4 pm for smaller ensemble performances in the Henry Hudson Riverfront Park Gazebo, featuring diverse cultural repertoire, as our 55-piece orchestra prepares to take centerstage for our debut concert kicking off at 7 pm!

All attending children are invited to join “The Teddy Bears’ Picnic” parade, following a larger than lif teddy bear (a brave volunteer in a bear costume) to a picnic blanket with treats for all!

We also encourage you to bring a picnic to enjoy on the lawn!

HFO seeks to promote Henry Hudson Riverfront Park as a community resource that contributes to a vibrant and inclusive Hudson. The concert will be performed under a large tent on the lawn overlooking the river and mountains, a short walk from town.

We hope to make “Hudson in Concert” an annual free community event!
