The Longfellow Summer Arts Festival brings music, poetry, and community to the East Lawn of the Longfellow House on Sunday afternoons through the summer. All events are free and open to the public.
New York City-based guitarist Pete Smith (and H.W. Longfellow descendant) returns to the Longfellow House with bassist Gregory Ryan to play a free concert on the lawn at 3:00 p.m. The duo will be performing choice standards from the jazz and American Songbook traditions, including compositions by Billy Strayhorn, Cole Porter, Cedar Walton, Jerome Kern, Charlie Parker as well as music from Brazil and Cuba. Spend a lovely afternoon in the shade, listening to the sweet sounds of this exceptional duo.
