The College of Staten Island Center for the Arts is staging a memorial concert honouring those affected by the September attacks, marking the twenty-fifth anniversary. The programme pairs musical performance with remembrance in a concert hall seating 911 people, a number chosen deliberately. If you want a commemoration held by a community rather than broadcast at one, this is the room to sit in.
What to expect
The concert runs in Building 1P on the College of Staten Island's Willowbrook campus, with doors opening half an hour before showtime. Seating is general admission and first come, first served, so earlier arrivals get better seats in the large hall. The programme combines musical performances with remembrance across the evening.
Good to know
- The campus is at 2800 Victory Boulevard in Willowbrook; buses along Victory Boulevard serve it from the ferry.
- Admission is free with unreserved, first come, first served seating.
- Doors open half an hour before showtime, so arrive early for a good seat.
- There is campus parking if you are driving from elsewhere on the island.
- It is an indoor concert hall, so weather is not a factor.
- It is a commemorative programme, so expect a reflective rather than festive tone.
