Woodstock Concert Site Home to New Performance Center

The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts kicks off its inaugural season at its home on the former Max Yasgur Farm, the site of the original 1969 Woodstock festival.

The Center opens July 1 to a sold out house for the New York Philharmonic, with Audra McDonald and Lang Lang.

Upcoming performances include the Jazz Festival Weekend, two days of continuous music with more than a dozen performers, including George Genson, John Pizzarelli, Nellie Mckay, Dianne Reeves, Wynton Marsalis and others. Two-day reserved seat passes are available for $80.

Among the acts rounding out the 2006 line up are Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young on August 13 and the Boston Pops with Faith Prince on August 26. The 2006 season calendar, with ticket information, is available at the Center’s website.
