Concerts for City Greens is hosting a songwriting contest of songs celebrating the roles parks and green spaces play in the lives of New Yorkers. Numerous songs by professional and amateur songwriters, from an array of styles and points of view, were submitted. Eight semifinalist songs will be performed this summer's upcoming concert series. (Semifinalists will be announced on April 15.) Through a combination of online and jury voting, three top songs will be chosen at the end of the summer. The three finalist songs will be performed at a special concert at Feinstein's at the Loews Regency in the fall or winter of 2012.

Serving as judges for the contest are: Neil Sedaka, Amanda McBroom, Ann Hampton Callaway, David Friedman, Michael John LaChiusa, and MTV executive Matthew Parillo.

Community Outreach

Supporting the greening of New York, Concerts for City Greens links with a range of community groups, organizations and individuals. Our mission is two-fold -- to increase and diversify the audience for live music in New York, while encouraging public and private stewardship of green spaces across the City.
