QUARTET @ TANG MUSEUM IN SARATOGA - FRIDAY 8/8
The BPQ will perform a FREE concert on the roof of Skidmore College's Tang Museum in Saratoga, NY this Friday 8/8. The performance, part of the museum's "Upbeat On The Roof Concert Series", is sponsored in part by EXIT 97.7 FM - tune in to the station on Thursday 8/7 at 6:30pm for a pre-recorded on-air interview promoting the show! This is a great opportunity to come out and hear the band in a unique setting. In case of inclement weather the performance will be held inside the museum.
