Norwood Village Green Concert Series

Over the years the Norwood Village Green Concert Series has presented 611 performances for an audience in excess of 482,682 (revised to date August 31, 2008). The Series has been able to present Grammy, Juno, and Emmy award winners along with a host of international, national, regional and local performers. The Series prides itself in its programming for children and youth and its long history of giving opportunity for student musician performances. It always tries to present its offerings in the spirit of community whether the performer is the beginning student or the internationally recognized artist. The Series networks and works in co sponsorship with many local civic organizations and groups. All outdoor programs are presented on the Norwood Village Green Band Shell. The facility was dedicated on September 25, 1975 as a major gift in recognition of the Bicentennial of the American Revolution. Since 1991 several occasional indoor concerts and artist-in-residencies for Norwood-Norfolk students have been initiated.
