Four musicians will perform a free concert in the Mount Vernon Community Center, on Minnehonk Lake in Mt. Vernon, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 4. The musicians will present a concert of classical and popular music on flute, bass, violin and piano.

Bassist Michael Thurber, a Julliard graduate and New York City-based composer and performer; pianist Christopher Staknys, of Falmouth, is in his first year at Julliard. He has won numerous competitions; flutist Emi Ferguson, a faculty member at Julliard, has performed as concerto soloist in concerts and festivals around the world; and violinist Tessa Lark has performed concerti with orchestras worldwide and has given many solo recitals.

Following the concert, there will be a fireworks display over Minnehonk Lake. Seating in the hall is on a first-come, first-serve basis, but guests are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs and sit outside on the lawn to listen. Donations will be accepted in support of the 30Mile River Watershed Association and the Parker Pond Association.
