PROSPECT-LEFFERTS GARDENS — Get ready for a very musical week in the neighborhood.
Starting Monday, May 15, live music will fill nine Prospect-Lefferts Gardens venues for the first ever PLG Musical Festival, organizers said.
The weeklong event put on by the local arts group PLG Arts features dozens of city artists, many from Brooklyn, who will bring a diverse slate of genres to the area, from chamber music to Latin jazz to Big Band.
The festival kicks off May 15 with a jazz performance curated by trumpeter Jake Henry at 65 Fen and continues with at least one performance each day, ending with two performances on Sunday, May 21: one with children’s performer Miss Nina at the Greenlight Bookstore on Flatbush Avenue and another with string quartet The Rhythm Method at The Owl Music Parlor on Rogers Avenue.
All events at the festival are free with the exception of a performance by the Switzerland-based Trio Elgar, who will play at Soup & Sound on May 17. Admission to the event is $20 per person.
