Universal Sound
The NewBridge Concerts at Warner Park have a nice setting — beneath “the tin cans,” with the lagoon in the background. They run through the end of July. Tonight's offering, Universal Sound, plays from an astounding list of covers mainly from the '50s, '60s and '70s, from Sinatra to K.C. & the Sunshine Band. There will be dancing. The series continues on Mondays from July 11-25; find the schedule at newbridgemadison.org.
media release: The Summer Concert Series was started by one of the four senior coalitions that merged to become NewBridge Madison. In 1993, the North/Eastside Senior Coalition (NESCO) initiated the Summer Concert Series at Warner Park in order to bring people together and provide older adults in the area with free, high-quality summer entertainment. The trial run was a success.
These concerts not only brought out older adults who were members of the coalition but also many individuals and families from the community. Concert attendance has increased from 650 (total for all six concerts) in the initial year to over 2,500 the past year few years. Now the concerts attract not only older adults but also younger adults with disabilities as well as families with young children.
