The School Lunchtime Concert Series is a project of Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, and is sponsored by Investors Bank.

“The sound of a young person discovering their passion for performance and getting to share it with the community is music to everyone’s ears,” said Adams. “The School Lunchtime Concert Series brings Brooklyn’s talented students to the live ‘stage’ that is Downtown Brooklyn, introducing workers and shoppers to our rising stars.”
