Duke Ellington Concert: April 29
Third Annual Free Concert at Duke Ellington Park

In celebration of the birthday of West End native Duke Ellington, the neighborhood will hold the third annual Duke Ellington Birthday Concert on Sunday, April 29, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.  Admission is free.

The location is Duke Ellington Park in the West End, which is the small triangular park at the intersection of M Street, 21st Street, and New Hampshire Avenue.  Duke Ellington was born nearby on April 29, 1899.

Once again this year, the featured jazz band will be King James and the Serfs of Swing, from George Washington University.

West End ANC Commissioner Rebecca Coder will emcee the event.  Come and enjoy the music and meet your neighbors!
