5 Classical Music Concerts to See in N.Y.C. This Weekend

THE KNIGHTS at Temple Emanu-El (June 18, 7 p.m.). Alas, Central Park’s Naumburg Bandshell is out of action this summer while it undergoes repairs, depriving us of the annual, free outdoor concerts that have been a staple of the summer season for more than a century. However, the Naumburg concerts themselves have moved across the street temporarily to the Temple Emanu-El’s Streicker Center. The Knights are first up, with the chamber orchestra playing music that includes the premiere of an arrangement of Lisa Bielawa’s “Fictional Migrations” for solo flute and horn with strings, and Mendelssohn’s Octet. Tickets must now be reserved online, but they are still free.
