Free First Fridays: Music Under the Dome

Celebrate the New Year with music in the Planetarium! A woodwind quintet from the Yonkers Philharmonic Orchestra will play a varied program, including a special arrangement of Modest Mussorgsky’s famous 1874 orchestral work ‘Pictures at an Exhibition,’ complemented by visuals on the dome, in two 40-minute sets, at 6 and 7pm.

Check out our current exhibitions and enjoy a bilingual sketching workshop with artist Carolina Amarillo. Plus, enjoy a cash bar with refreshments to warm you up.
