THE ARTS BEAT, CFCU Summer Concert Series

Posted on July 5, 2017 by Joe Salzone

Since I first began the Arts Beat segment just before the summer months, one of my biggest goals has been to talk to/feature every possible summer festival and concert series taking place in the local area. Whether they be on big stages, porches in Trumansburg or everywhere in between.

The latest is Downtown Ithaca’s CFCU Summer Concert Series, which is in it’s 18th year. I spoke with the Event Coordinator Tatiana Sy in order to find out some more info on this week’s version of The Arts Beat here on WHCU.
