The evening included performances of “My Girl” by Dennis Edwards of The Temptations, “Dancing in the Street” by Martha Reeves of Martha and The Vandellas, “When a Man Loves a Woman” and “In the Midnight Hour” by Percy Sledge, in addition to performances by José James, Robert Earl Keen, Amel Larrieux, Deva Mahal, Bettye LaVette, Joan Osborne, Eli “Paperboy” Reed and Ryan Shaw.

About SummerStage
In June, 1986, SummerStage was launched with a free performance from Sun Ra and the Omniverse Jet Set Arkestra. Today, City Parks Foundation’s SummerStage is a free city-wide festival showcasing world-renowned and emerging talent from around the globe and from New York City’s own backyard. With 300+ performers in the world of music, dance and theater, over 100 performance dates in 18 parks in all 5 boroughs, it is one of the largest, most geographical diverse and thematically broad festivals in the nation. The SummerStage Gala raises funds to support City Parks Foundation’s free year round arts programming in parks citywide.

About The New York Pops
The New York Pops is the largest independent pops orchestra in the United States, and the only professional symphonic orchestra in New York City specializing in popular music. Led by Music Director Steven Reineke, the orchestra performs an annual subscription series and birthday gala at Carnegie Hall. The New York Pops was founded by former NBC Music Director Skitch Henderson in 1983 with a mission to create greater public awareness and appreciation of America’s rich musical heritage. The orchestra’s media projects include performing for the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular on NBC, nationwide radio broadcasts, and numerous recordings.
